West Veil threads the needle

I was  thinking about the 45-minute drive out to my favorite dark site...with work in the morning...ugh.

Then I realized that the Veil was going to be visible all night within the narrow window of sky provided by my  back yard.

The CEM70 delivered about 0.6" or better all four hours; processing (Astro Pixel Processor HSO 2, starnet++, Topaz Denoise, Photoshop) was super-easy.

As the old Honda commercial said, "Isn't it great when things just...work?"

That's just beautiful.

Thank you. Being a US Midwesterner, I have to  respond by pointing out that I haven't fixed my incorrect-backfocus distance so the stars in  the corners are terrible (e.g. lower right, where it hasn't been cropped).

But I really like it too.

Stunning!
