Looking good Alec! 8)
You can tell how large this object is, that not even the 80mm scope with a f/r could take it all... (of course, the size of the CCD is also another part of the equation)

Thank you for sharing, and keep it up!

where's my rating??

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
The people you have dealt with might NOT have left any ratings for you..., it is NOT an automatic process. (forgive me if you already know this)

Try going into the Account Menu area (to the left), and click on Unused Ratings, see if there is anything there for you...

Best choice of filter for viewing NAN ?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
For VIEWING the NAN, you'll need a VERY WIDE FOV, as this object is VERY LARGE, and the SCT FOV won't allow you to view it all... believe me, I have one...

You'll need a refractor/reflector with a short focal length, which will allow you to see it all. You'll also need DARK SKIES, and an O-III filter will help...

For capturing it (IMAGING), you'll need the same equipment and a large chip CCD camera...

Have you been imaging before? if so, what equipment did you use before this ST-8?

Looking forward to your next shots!

You are right in saying that it looks like a section of the Veil... it sure does!
