Witch's Broom (Veil Nebula)

[carastro]

Got this after the NA nebula disappeared behind the dome a couple of nights ago. Taken between 2 and 3am !!! By which time the waning moon was rising.

Needs more data but this is the first step.

10 x 5 mins 800 ISO Modified Canon 450D + CLS filter + FF

ED80, guided with QHY5 and PHD on NEQ6

Superb picture

[carastro]

Many thanks every-one. Was especially pleased as this wasn't on the agenda for the night and only started off as an experiment.

Nice work Carole. We were looking at this last night in the big Dob. You have it looking ghostly and natural here (if ghosts can be natural!)

Great start Carole, just add more subs to get the noise down and it'll be a cracker of an image.
