Veil segment through the MN190

[wavydavy]

Heres an image from a few nights ago (8th) of a section of the Veil nebula. exposures were not as long as I would have liked due to cloud passing over, conditions were very average. This is a bi-colour image taken through the skywatcher mak Newtonian scope, an Atik 314L plus mono, with a 7 nm h-alpha filter, and an OIII filter. the h-alpha filter was 10 x 5 mins exposures, and the OIII filter was 9 x 5 mins.

That's a really nice image. I love the fine filaments. This is one of my favorite summer objects although the veil is positioned from my perspective under a sodium street light!

I would amend your comment- perhaps to "I hope the bulb goes out..." as you will fall foul of the moderators!

Seeing fantastic bicolors like this i realize I have so much to learn about narrowband processing... But maybe one day...
