Veil Nebula (eastern portion) NGC6992
The Veil Nebula is the aftermath of an enormous star explosion (a Supernova) 5000 to 10,000 years ago. This photo shows the shredded remains of the star. I used the same modified Canon 300D along with a William Optics 80ED Refractor @ F/5.6 (F.L.= 448mm). Exp.time: 49x5min = Over 4hr @ ISO1600. To reduce hot pixels, darks frames were taken at the same temperature and time then subtracted. www.RobsAstroImaging.com
