ABYSMAL veil nebula from -37 latitude

[willow edge]

yeah wtf is this. almost 2 hours of narrowband and barely any outer shell Ha. im disgusted 😂

150*60"
f/2
B5
98% moon
+20 degrees max elevation

initial unlinked autostretch. you can already see how bad this is

maximum elevation here

[ashen horizon]

Idk if im just missing something, but it seems pretty reasonable for 2.5h narrowband and 98%! Moon and the low elevation.

yeah it makes sense given the conditions but still

not that good

of an image

:(

What gear did you use

[ashen horizon]

Not every image always has to turn out good. For my level of astro, it seems nice fof the conditions. Maybe your next one will turn out even better.

bro this is my attempt from 2023 lol yours is not that bad

[warped island]

NA is how Centaurus A rises for me lol

I will say from such a low altitude this isn't all bad. Shooting an object that isn't well seen from your hemisphere is very impressive, at least to me

Your veil rises as high as my sculptor, and this is the best I could do from +40 lat

but thats broadband right?
