After hours and hours of imaging work done on the Veil Nebula over the past month or so, the image is now complete! This image comprises a total of 90 hours of exposure time, in a nine-panel mosaic with 180 exposures, each 30 minutes long.
The sheer amount of detail visible is absolutely stunning, and is something I was surprised at when panning around the image, particularly when viewed on Flickr. No doubt this is thanks to the extraordinary night sky around e-EyE but also the 3nm narrowband filters used. The image itself took little post-processing to get right, with the vast majority of the time spent pre-processing and constructing the mosaics.
A very worthy target, which I am happy I have now been able to give it all the attention it deserves!
