Veil Nebula NB 2024
Our dominant summer target in the northern hemisphere is this remnant of an exploded star -- the Veil Nebula or Cygnus Loop (after it's host constellation). First light for my new 6nm Narrowband filter set, with my first SII (Sulfur) filter. I selected an HSO color palette (Hydrogen/red; Sulfur/Green; Oxygen/Blue) based on the combination which looked best to me from this data set. The stars are from my 2021 RGB image.
Tech Stuff: Borg 55FL astrograph/ ZWO ASI 533MM/Astronomik NB filters/ RST 135E mount. Unguided 15-second exposures collected in SharpCap livestacks over 4 nights, July 2024: HA 70 min; SII 70 min; OIII 120 minutes from my Bortle 7 yard in Westchester County, SQM 18.9.
