Description

We have had a rare occurrence, a run of consecutively clear nights!! I got cracking on the Eastern Veil Nebula. I wanted to pick something easy and bright as the evenings being warm with hardly any dark plus a moon to contend with I didn't hold up much hope for getting much data. Over the course of 3 nights I gathered just over 6 hours of 5minute exposures using the L-extreme filter on the ASI 183 colour camera and the William Optics 80mm GT. One of the nights the sky was pretty murky but on I pressed regardless. I really am learning to keep disciplined and only working on one target for as long as possible. Tonight I have had to stop that data gathering as the forecasted cloud has set and I have processed the data that I have. I am pretty happy with the outcome, I think I need more dark thrown in the mix as the noise is higher than I expect but I can add to that with no issue at all.
