Astrofest Veil

[Garbz]

I tried the Veil every astrofest. I finally got it this year.

I managed 6h 45min worth this astrofest. Now I just need a better scope, and some narrowband to deal with that damn starfield.

If anyone is against grotuitous overuse of morphological transform I suggest you don't look at the 5MB large version (http://www.garbz.com/dump/NGC6960.jpg). ;)

It is certainly a very rich and colourful star field indeed. Nice catch of the veil as well and on my iPad I don't see any nasties left over from processing.

Looks great to me. I love this part of the sky.

That's pretty good for a Southern image of the Veil, Chris!

[Garbz]

Thanks. Hopefully one day I can do it with some narrowband :)

6 panel mosaic, 20+ hours per panel :thumbsup:

I'll leave that for retirement. .... And global warming which gets rid of all bad weather. That's how it works right? :)

Nice one Chris.
Really is interesting how the star density varies across the FOV for the Veil. Certainly makes processing life interesting!
