Description

This is a widefield view of the Veil Nebula in Cygnus, taken through the FSQ-106EDX at 530mm focal length. A total of 11.5 hours exposure in 23 30-minute subs using a 5nm Ha filter and the STL-11000M camera. Plans include combining this with last-year's data (should have over 20-hours of Ha), and adding OIII narrowband data (just bought narrowband filters!). Taken at Sierra Skies Observatory over 7 nights in late June 2011.
