Description

First cut at the Veil Nebula, a cloud of heated and ionized gas and dust in the constellation Cygnus about 2400 light years away.  Taken at home between 10PM and midnight on 9/15/22.  I used the iOptron HEM27 mount and ZWO 30mm guide scope and ZWO ASI120MM-S camera.  Two images are shown, as the frame moved after the first few and I kept both.  Image one is from 5 five minute subs with an ASI294MC Pro camera, gain 120, and Optolong L-Extreme filter.  Image two is from 13 five minute subs with the same configuration.   Data stacked and processed with Pixinsight, Windows, and Apple edit.
