Veil Nebula, Witches Broom.

I imaged this last night. It was 30 x 30 second Lights, plus Darks and Bias. It was unguided so I’m quite pleased with the result.

V nice!

Looks good, sharp and nice colours. I think the background could benefit from being darker with fewer of the smallest stars (and maybe also less stretched noise). I would have tried protecting the BG & stars during stretching, so the nebula could stand out more.

I agree completely, I wish I could get a darker background but I always seem to suffer with a ‘grey / Black ‘ background!?

If you make the stacked & unprocessed file available (like on dropbox) we can give it a try. What processing software do you use ?

I use Pixinsight.
