The Veil nebula with a stock Canon 5D4 and WO z61

[Photosbykev]

A revisit to the Veil nebula using a stock Canon 5D4 and WO Zenithstar 61 with Flat61A flattener and IDAS-D2 filter on a SkyGuider PRo mount guiding with a ZWO ASI120mm and 30mm f/4 guidescope. Plenty of dithering between lights  Moon at 80% wasn't helping but it gives me some idea of what is achievable without going down the modified camera route.

40 x 4 minutes lights 20 x flats/darks and 50 bias frames. Calibrated and aligned in Astro Pixel Processor and then finished in PixInsight

I love the Z61. It allows such great wide field images such as yours.

I've updated the processing on the Veil and used StarNet to remove all of the star field before reprocessing the nebula and adding the star field back into the final image
