While impossible to view from my home in Sydney, I have very fond memories viewing the veil from Coonabarabran with my c14 a year of 2 back. No colour visible, but extensive regions of wispy detail. A real highlight of my visit. My suggestions:

- You want to go as dark as possible. You will be able to see some of the brighter areas from B4 but probably not the fainter areas.
- The UHC will help greatly to bring out contrast (even when the sky is dark). The impact on star colour is negligible for this target
- Use the 16" dob - I don't think you will have enough light-grab with the frac imho

Take your time and enjoy the view. The areas is quite extensive and I remember spending probably close to an hour zooming around
Good luck!
