Description

Well, this is what I have been working on during the past week. My biggest project to date - The Mighty Veil Nebula. I shot this object last year as separate parts - East and West. However it is so beautiful, vast and fascinating that I decided to go over it again but this time to make a mosaic and see the whole thing. And what a THING it is!!! A supernova remnant! WOW!

The image has been taken from the city of Sofia with full Moon. Thanks to the filters and DBE I was able to remove the gradients and make a nice photo. My roof/terrace observatory (The Unreal Observatory ) has been collecting data from dusk till dawn for four nights and a half (due to clouds...). This photo was entirely taken with the help of NINA. Wow this software is huge. I like the auto focusing routine each hour and the auto meridian flip - priceless options.

I also attach zoom-ins to the Alien, The Witch's Broom and the Wormhole as I like to call it. While looking at it one can imagine Imperial Star Destroyers as they pass through chasing the Millennium Falcon. I love space!

Wish you all Clear Skies because this is what one can make when one has them...
