Description

This is my improved version of the Western Veil, taken in August 2020 from Cherry Springs. It is heavily cropped to eliminate star elongation at the edges that result from using an achromat with no field flattener. This image is 3 2/3 hours of 5 minute subs taken through an Optolong L-eNhance dual narrowband filter and a one-shot-color camera. Data captured with N.I.N.A and processed in Nebulosity. Guiding, as usual, challenge.
