John Moody 8/18/2010 9:20:26 PM This is a 3 frame mosaic of the Veil Nebula complex. The nebulosity at the top left of the frame with the bright star is NGC6960 and at the bottom is NGC6992/IC1340. Each of the frames consist of 25 to 33 raw subframes calibrated with 20 darks and 40 flats. I really needed more subs but both nights I was taking these images clouds moved in and cut things short. The bottom frame was shot on 8/7/10 and the top two on 8/14/10 using a Canon 40D and Celestron NS11 with a Hyperstar 3 lens.
