Veil Nebula Complex using Redcat

Captured this from my balcony over three hours last night. Did a quick process this evening but need to spend more time and care tbh.

Had another go at processing, this time without taking the stars out, hopefully retaining better star colour and more detail in the Veil? I think less is more for the whispy Veil nebulosity?

I have used Starnet++ on the veil, and found it removes stars, but also some of the fine wispy details.

I know you posted these pics hoping for comments on the Nebula image, but I haven’t yet stopped looking at the pic of your scope. Anything that looks that good should perform brilliantly!😃

Haha! It’s evolving into a flexible and handsome little beast. 😊

Very nice image Tony, just wondering if the black point has been clipped a little. It gives you a darker background and hides a bit of noise but you can lose faint wispy details.

 

I think you may be right on this. I was trying out a new technique and may have got a bit carried away. Will have another go over the weekend maybe, as there is little chance of any clear skies here. Thanks 😊
