DescriptionThe Veil nebula is a legendary target and I've always felt my earlier captures didn't do it justice. This took advantage of a transparent but full moon night on a windy evening to capture a widefield view. Framed in NINA. Lightly processed in Affinity Photo... I broke down and did a star reduction.
