The Veil 135mm

[Scooot]

This is the most data I’ve managed to capture on one target so far. 2.5 hours worth of 1.5 minute exposures at F2 on my star adventurer. It would have been longer but the camera battery ran out. Fortunately I’d taken some flats and darks half way through. Probably should have stopped the lens down a bit but decided to go for photons at the expense of star shape and to see how the Samyang 135mm performed wide open.

There’s a dark red area bottom right. I used a CLS filter to reduce light pollution and I also applied PixInsight’s DBE so wouldn’t have thought its light pollution. So I’m wondering whether it’s a region of nebulosity. Does anyone know?

Hi, there's nebulosity all over that area. There is also cluster NGC 6940. If you go to www.worldwideyeslecope.org and look at the Hydrogen alpha full sky map you'll see what's there.

Good luck with imaging using the SA mount and Samyang lens.

Cheers,
Steve

Thank you Steve, much appreciated. I’ll have a look at that link.
