This image of the Veil was taken last night through a 4″ Apochromatic refractor called a Takahashi FSQ with a short FL of 540 mm. It has an amazingly wide FOV since the camera used has a full frame chip the size of a 35 mm slide. (SBIG STL-110000) I had trouble guiding as the stars get dim, so the image is made up of 14 ten minute exposures unguided and then stacked together and processed in Maxim, CCDSTACK and Photoshop. This is the object or parts of it anyway we looked at through my 80 mm refractor with the oxygen filter. Hopefully I can get some color data next time it’s my turn and I can combine them.
