Western Veil

[Shibby]

I've been working on this one a while. Partly due to issues with my power supply, it has taken a long time to gather enough data for a satisfactory image.

It's also larger than I realised and only just fits within a 2-panel mosaic with my setup. It's such a great target, though, that I've never imaged before for some reason. I think I'd need another 4 years or so to continue the mosaic and cover the whole supernova remnant!  😆

It's a Bi-colour image captured with the following:

• MN190
• Atik 460ex

Panel 1:

• 22x600s Ha (7nm)
• 20x600s Oiii (3nm)

Panel 2:

• 20x600s Ha (7nm)
• 20x600s Oiii (3nm)

(Total ~13.5h)

For processing I have, as ever, used DSS + Photoshop. I tried processing starless layers using Starnet, but gave up and switched back to star masks. One day maybe I'll finally invest in PixInsight!

Thanks for looking

Very nice, and your stars are nice and tight.
