Veil complex

[Starman]

Hi all,

Here's my first ever image of this beautiful region of the sky. This is a manual combination of two images (300s + 600s) using a Borg f/4 Astrograph (76mm). The field of view of this instrument is immense and, as you can see, has almost allowed me to capture the entire remnant in one go. A manually applied flat has been applied to this image but no dark-frame calibration yet. I have approximately 2hrs of data to calibrate and process before the final version is ready to show and to be honest, after no sleep since 8am yesterday morning - it can wait :?

A lovely night last night though with lots of bright meteors winging their way across the skies as well.

Excellent image Pete. Saved me the bother of doing it now - just as well as its cloudy.

Thats a lot of sky and a lot of stars for one picture, I hope the processing works out well as it looks ace now, the finished article will be spectacular.
