Description

On the search for my next target, I chose to image the Eastern Veil Nebula. Being on my list for quite some time, the shortcomings of this year's weather didn't permit to go for it earlier. 

Since the object is already close to the meridian at the time when I can start imaging, it means that I needed several consecutive nights to gather all three narrowband channels. Fortunately the weather permitted to gather some data but I would have liked to achieve a deeper integration.

For the post processing, I've been experimenting with different color blends and I found that the OHS-blending gave a nice color combination (as usual, a matter of taste). 

I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment.

Clear skies!
