Description

This is a relatively deep integration of the Witch's broom and surrounding nebulosity of the Western Veil.
I was stuck in this orientation due to another project and decided to take it as a challenge to see what I could view in this area.

Most of the images I've seen of this target only show the bright nebulosity and the surrounding areas are either cropped out or not visible.

I spent over 70 hours on this target to try and bring out the very faint OIII and Ha data in the background in a way that I'm not sure has been seen before.
I hope you enjoy!

Integration details:
Ha: 43h 15 minutes
OIII: 26h 40 minutes
R,G,B: 1 hour each
