Hi Folks,
Here is my first attempt at the Veil Nebula.
Took the opportunity after arriving home late from a family dinner.
(Rolled off the roof at 10.30 -12.10am). I imaged the usual's in a half hearty way....keeping the southern cloud build up in the corner of my eye. After almost 2 weeks of bad weather I came up with this image. For me I was quite surprised.

My plans are to keeps gathering data and stacking over the coming weeks, weather permitting and seeing what happens.

This composition is 3 images 2x4min + dark and 1x3min + dark. (All 1600ISO)
Skywatcher 102 Achromatic and Orion Broadband DSF with Canon 350D.

Image processed in DSS, Photoshop, Noiseware and cropped to fit.

Thanks for looking.

Paul
