Thanks Willie 


Absolutely beautiful, Aubrey! You have exceeded your previously very high standards!

Ain't CMOS beautiful?

Very cool, Aubrey! A real 3 dimensional feel to your image.

Cool pic.
 

Thought that you might enjoy another image of the Veil. This was shot on Oct 20th with my AT 102 refractor telescope and a new color camera (Toup Tek AR 2600 24mb color). This camera is a back lit CMOS camera. That means it is much more sensitive and I am just getting used to the difference in exposure times and gain, etc.


The Veil is a large remnant left over from a 20 times larger Red star that went super nova around 8000 years ago. This is sometimes called the "Witch's Broom".
