Description

This is a mosaic of pictures acquired over a few nights. I added the moon for comparison, to hide an area of the sky I didn't cover yet ;-) but I do like the effect of it as well. I retrieved the full moon picture from a random session of a few years ago.

Even without the characteristic blue OIII data, the Veil nebula remains to be a stunning object in my view.
