Veil Nebula

[Lester]

Hi all, The grass always looks greener on the otherside of the fence, so even though the Veil only rises to 20 degrees above my northern horizon, I had to have a go at it. Its very faint.

This image is only 1 exposure of 10 minutes at ISO 1600 with Astro 40 D camera and Takahashi Epsilon 160mm Astrograph F3.3 . The night before I tried at ISO 800 and could hardly see the fainter areas of the Veil.

I am not sure if any of the Veil is outside the FOV of this image; so if someone can inform me I would be grateful.

The epsilon has shown what it is capable with just 10 mins Lester especially with it being low down
