I have been working a lot on the Veil Nebula. This is a large super nova remnant that spans over 3 deg in diameter. It is located in right wing of the constellation Cygnus. I have used a ES H-Beta filter and Bader H-Alpha filter to get this result of the West side of the Veil SNR. I am planning on making a mosaic after capturing the East side and center of the Veil. This will require 6 to 8 nights of collecting data. I did get a shot of the East side with no filter but I am not able to get the contrast I would like between the stars and DSO. The H-Alpha filter brings out a lot more detail. These images have over 4 hours of each filter so a total of 8 hours on the West side of the Veil and 4 hours on the East side. The first picture is the West side and the second is the East side. The size of the picture is 4944x3284 pixels. Unity gain with 480 sec sub frames.
