Thanks Jeff, my latitude should be an advantage but my view to the North is limited to about 22 deg Alt, I've been trimming the top of my neighbors hedge inch by inch at night over a couple of weeks & voila~ the Veil

Thanks Tony, your low altitude images of Northern objects inspired the Veil. I noticed you withdrew the C11, I think you'll be surprised with what you can do even at F10. The biggest challenge is guiding, an OAG would be much better than the guide scope setup I'm using needless to say a focal reducer would come in handy also. I have a couple more images with the C8 up my sleeve which I'm processing atm. Btw I was sorely tempted to buy your C11, I think I'm coming down with aperture fever.

As Casstony said, I’m a little bit jealous of some of the things you can image in the more northern states. I’d love to be able to catch me a crab and also veil. Nice collection there. Well done !

Thank you Ryan, I think the Crab & a few others will gain some altitude yet so you should still be able to have a crack at them.

Thanks Wes, I know what you mean re; the Veil, I ended up part processing it in Nebulosity using DDP & just tweaked it a bit with Photoshop, it looks like our run of good weather might be over perhaps.
Cheers to all & thanks for the positive feedback .
