Description

Here we have a little more detail of a portion of the eastern veil, taken with my mono DSI 3 Pro and 8” SCT operating at f6.3 ~1320mm FL, using Optolong L-eNhnce filter.  I didn’t quite get the  backspacing right and the stars were a bit wonky, so these are resynthesised using Starnet plugin to Siril. Using 5min exposures reveals some nice detail in the filaments. It was fun to use my SCT again, but a lot of work to setup, PA, and I’d forgotten the challenge of imaging at longer focal lengths.
