Description

Also known as the Western Veil, I love looking for this visually, with or without an Oiii filter. This imaging session was first light for my ZWO EAF, once I got the backlash settings entered. Not a great night for imaging; it was howling about 25 knots around the house but only occasionally blustering around the deck. Also the first time I have done flats calibrated with flat-darks, which I gather I should have been doing all along. And I took the EZ route for the deconvolution, noise reduction and star reduction. I like them because I find there are fewer parameters to play with, which makes it easier to see what direction I am headed in with multiple iterations. Next will be adding some subs with my L-eNhance filter and playing with that plus this RGB OSC data.
