Veil (or part of it...)

[Davesellars]

Taken last night as nice and transparent night but now visual astronomy for me as still recovering from a bad cold so quickly setup the EQ5 with RA motor only. Polar aligned (not too bad) with the 80ED and DSLR (70D)

This is from 30 x 1 min exposures @ ISO1600 (this just about gets me to a good position on the histogram)
I did take 15 lights from 2 minute exposures as well however the EQ5 or something else (flexure) was causing too much movement over that time period (no guiding here!) so I didn't use them in the end.  Seems that 1 minute exposures is about the limit for this mount unguided anyway...

I used flats and bias frames this time. No darks as doesn't seem to make much difference... Processed in StarTools .

Looks like a good result for half hour and a rough polar alignment! 
 

I’ve been developing my setup and spent a lot of time recently imaging the Cygnus loop and found that using starnet++ and running some star reduction really helps it pop in post processing.
