Very trying Veil Nebula
A section of the Veil Nebula.
A compilation of 7 X 15 minute exposures fully calibrated.
The image was a trying image to process without going to far and looking grossly overprocessed. The image was taken from my observatory but was very low in the sky at about 15 degrees above the horizon. The image suffered from a major gradient problem thanks to a street light in line with the target.
I experimented with a couple of settings for the flats for this image with the first (first image) with a saturation of about 18000 and the second (second image) at about 28000. The diference was noticable but either would have created a usable final image.
Take a look at both images and tell me what you think.
