The Veil Nebula

The Veil Nebula (part of it).

 

I used an unmodified Canon 5D, and I'm pretty unimpressed with the length of integration necessary to get this much of an image. Maybe it's time to look into a modified dSLR to capture more of the Hydrogen-alpha light. Although, I'm pretty happy with the amount of detail (check out the large view).
