Veil Nebula

Hi all,

last night was my second attempt at this object, it rises to 20 degrees max in the north. I only managed 1 x 10 minute exposure at ISO 1600, before the side of the observatory started to get in the way. The night before I tried 10 minute exposures at ISO 800 and could hardly see the fainter areas of this object.

I am keen to try it with a 200 mm lens to get it all in the FOV. This image is with the Astrograph, and I am not sure how much of the Veil is outside its FOV.
