The Eastern Veil Nebula
Last night, conditions were very good for narrowband imaging (specifically, 7nm hydrogen-alpha). One of the most spectacular objects for this kind of imaging is the Veil Nebula. The Veil is an ancient supernova remnant in Cygnus, and is high in the sky at this time of year. This image was captured with a Mallincam DSm, VRC 6 Ritchey-Chretien scope, Ha filter, and Mallincam MFR 5 II-x focal reducer. The final image is a processed stack of 20 captures.
