Veil Nebula

I’ve been capturing this in narrowband over the past so many days (starting to get bored with it), hopefully SII tonight. This is 14hrs so far in Ha and OIII which has finally got rid of the noise:

Very nice detailed image Malcolm.
Mammoth effort time wise too.
How did you combine? Ha:OIII(G):OIII(B)??
And, what was the imaging scope/lens?
