Description

The Veil Nebula was taken using my new Antlia ALP-T filter to test what I could get with my ASI2600MC color camera, on a night with almost a full moon.  Taken at a Bortle 4 area using my Sigma 150-600mm lens at 300mm (F5.7).  I used 7 min subs, with a total of 3 hrs.  I was very pleased with the resulting image after workup in Siril and then touch up with Photoshop Elements.  The narrow band really does minimize  the affect of the moon.
