Spiky Eastern Veil Nebula

[davedownsouth]

Took a few shots of the Eastern Veil Nebula in Ha tonight and at ~12:30 I had this little chap run across my feet.  I first thought it was our cat, but on reaching down to scratch it I found it was much more spiky than Millie .  Took the camera off the scope and grabbed a quick picture (shaky hands with just the head torch on for light).  Gave her some dried cat food and she stayed for the rest of the night, very cute, I hope she stays around .

Very quick process of the Eastern Veil Nebula in Ha: -

Like both of those shots Dave. I haven't seen a hedgehog, even a flat one for several years on the IOW - a truely worrying decline.

Spiky was back again tonight as I was gathering some OIII shots (tracking was terrible ).  The lawn was covered in slugs, so I did not give her any food, I hope she eat well

No photos of the Hedgehog, but the Veil has now got some colour  (thanks to Steve for tips on how to do this in another thread ).

Bearing in mind the Moon last night, that's come out very nicely - I love bi-colour!
