I should have had the entire Veil complex in this image but mucked up the framing, just catching the edge instead. I can only see it for one hour as it moves low on the horizon between our house and a tree. Despite that it shows up surprisingly well.
Thanks Marc, we're lucky to get one clear evening per week lately so I make the most of it.
I'll definitely target the Veil again over two nights to get 2 hours worth of subs.
Also looking forward to the Vela SNR in future.
I also tried Sh2-1 around Pi Scorpii on the same night but it's faint - going to need a few hours of exposures.
Nice capture Tony, I'd love to have a go at this area with the Esprit 100 at some stage, maybe when it rises a little higher. Too many trees around my place. There's some good detail coming through on your shot despite its low position in the sky. Good stuff, you've been very busy of late, keep them coming.
I’d love to give this one a crack with the STC Duo but there’s zero chance for me from home. It’s at 21.5deg at its peak around 11pm. Maybe one day I’ll plan a road trip north for this one.
Thanks guys. I'm happy with how it turned out given that it's low in the murk from my place. I'm determined to get another hour or two to make it shine
Tony,
The reprocess is a winner- that's got all the hallmarks of a fine astro image - well done - you can put your feet up knowing you've done a great job here.
