Attached is an image of the veil nebula complex. This was done over 3 summers with a 10" and an 18" Newtonian telescopes, both f4.5. The east, west and central sections were mosaicked separately and then collaged on the TheSky6 map. Joe

Camera: ST 2000XM.
Exposure: 10, 10, 7, 10 CRGB respectively, all guiding manual.
Telescopes: JMI NGT-18 f4.5, Meade DS-10, f4.5 with Optic-craft drive and beefed-up mount with wooden rotating rings.

Very interesting way to present the image data, Joe! Thanks for sharing it.

Joe,

This is a very practical way to present complex areas of the sky. Other areas where this would be useful: the Orion belt/sword region, the North America/Pelican area....others?
Thanks for some very nice work.
