Description

This is my effort on Veil Nebula wide scale, it was photographed during several nights and from Bortle9 so it took a lot of extreme stretching and tweaking.

I wasn't happy with SHO palette, so I ended up with HSO to bring out the Hydrogen in the reds, otherwise it would end up in greens which looks pretty awful to be honest.

The pic is a bit of a frankenstein with different things applied here and there, but I think it turned up pretty nice since it highlights the surrounding dust. I hope you like it!
