M13, Crescent Nebula and Veil Nebula

[CloudMagnet]

With some time off work and the nights fast disappearing, this was last chance for me to get some decent hours outside. I recently bought the ZWO 071MC Pro so this was my first time with a cooled CMOS camera instead of a DSLR.

The pictures were taken on the 5/6th May (with a full moon). I first set up at 9pm on both nights before going all the way through to dawn at 4am. All images were taken with my Skywatcher 200p with EQ5 mount, and the ZWO 071 cooled to -5. M13 was taken with the IDAS D2 filter and the two nebula were done with the Optolong L-eNhance Dual Narrowband filter. The Crescent nebula I think would benefit from longer intergration time but I was suprised how much background nebulosity showed in such a short time.

Any feedback would be very appreciated
