Here's a Veil I shot on Monday Night...very hot and Hazy here in MI (85F at midnight with 75F dewpoint!)

This was taken with the new SXV-H16...no smoothing or blurring of any kind was done to the luminance fir this image. Not bad for such a warm evening! I'm still working on getting the camera chip flat...I tightened up the adjustment screws on the camera, so hopefully next time I won't have the uneven distortion in the corners.

Sorry about the Diffraction Spikes, Rolando wink

Beautiful shot Rick.... simply gorgeous!

I like the diffraction spikes. I think they make the image more pleasing from an aesthetic standpoint, even if they are un artifact of the imaging train. That is just my opinion. Some imagers actually add obstructions at the front of the tube to produce them on purpose. They do it for a reason! grin
