When a star much bigger than our Sun blew apart 8,000 years ago, it left behind this incredible arc of glowing gas: the Eastern Veil Nebula (NGC 6992).
I captured this from my garden on the Wirral — no observatory, no desert sky… just patience, cold fingers, and a ridiculous amount of exposures.
The red tones are hydrogen still glowing from the shockwave. The blue is oxygen excited to its breaking point.
Space is violent. Space is beautiful.
And I’m going to keep photographing both.

First one I have taken with my redcat51 and asi 585MC Pro

Background has a gradient, the image seems to be stretched but inwards, like you cropped your starless layer and then added it to your uncropped stars layer using pixel math. Easy enough to fix

Stars seem too blocky, even if undersampeld.
