Veil nebula region

[assouptro]

Hi 

So I have been pushing my setup to its limits weight wise and running a triple rig. Thanks to the addition of a Celestron oag I have been able to free up my “guide scope” allowing 3 dslr’s taking pictures at the same time with different field of views. 

Here are a couple of pics I have been working on, I don’t consider them finished as I feel I can always add data along with tweak the processing. 

The first is a wide field of the veil nebula Complex. Camera, self Baader modded 6d through a ts65 quadruplet 47x5min flats darks and bias, tweaked in Photoshop 

the second is a closeup of the witches broomstick. Camera, self modded 60d through a Meade 12” lx200gps with a Idas lp2 filter and a 6.3 focal reducer field flattener. 13x8 min frames, tshirt flats, darks and bias, stacked in dss then slightly tweaked in Photoshop (I need to do more)

I wanted to add more data but it looks like “it’s over” for a while here in the northwest 

I have also added a pic of my current setup, and the guiding cos it’s bonkers,  I can’t believe it’s working better than it ever did when it was unladen also there is a lot of criticism of the Meade guiding capabilities, it’s not perfect by a long shot but it makes me happy! 

Thanks for looking
