Good seeing last night. I used the new 140F7.5 operating with TCC at F5.7, STL11K camera, 6x10 minute exposure.

The nebulosity above NGC6888 looks a lot like parts of the Veil.

AMAZING wide-field shot Roland! 8O
What a beautiful combination that camera & scope make!

You are right in saying that it looks like a section of the Veil... it sure does!


Thanks for sharing with us, and clear skies to you! 8)

looks very good to me, Roland.

I`d be most interested in a full size image at full resolution.

Rolando!

Very nice! *drool* on the 140! Is this a production version? The one you displayed at NEAF?

Here it is in color. I used the new Baader narrow band filters of Ha, O3 and S2. Exposures were 60 min for H-a, 30 min for S2 and O3.
