Three from Friday: Elephant, W.Veil, and NGC 6823

[AKB]

Wow, a clearish night... but cold.  An evening's viewing brought to a close by freezing fog, and, strangely, two of my dew heater ports on the Eagle 2 seem to have packed up.

Anyway, I'm far too impatient to ever make a really nice image, so here are three not-so-great ones, from Friday, Nov 29, 2019.

• Esprit 120ED, guided and dithered
• ASI 294MC Pro OSC with "Quadband" filter
• Processed (rather poorly) in PI and Starnet++

Exposures:

1. Western Veil, 17x2 min (34 min total)
2. Elephant's Trunk, 17x5 min (85 min total)
3. NGC 6823, 17x5 min (total 85 min) – a new one for me

The quadband filter really seems to block out  colour from any blue stars.

Comments very welocme.

The Witches Broom is tops hear I think, a lovely image.  The other 2 are looking good but would look great with some more exposure time (they are much fainter than the veil)
