It's certainly something different to try for!
BTW, I've seen pics from the 48" Schmidt at Palomar with HUGH halos... Nobody complains about those.

Thanks Julian
The Vela SNR, while perhaps over all a bit fainter than the Veil, is much more extensive and interesting as it sits in a dense molecular cloud region that spans a lot of the sky in Vela that is full of interesting colourful nebulous features and stars.
Yes the Canada France Hawaii telescope shows very strong halos too, I think from the Wynn corrector..?
