Description

Well, originally, I intended to do a Ha-OIII photograph of the Veil Nebula with RGB stars.

But then I saw the autostretch preview in N.I.N.A. of my Ha exposures and was totally flabbergasted:
I have never seen the Veil Nebula like this before!

So I processed the 5 hours of Ha-exposures in a greyscale image, and this is what I got.
The delicate filaments of gas are just amazing, you simply don't see them like this in a colour photograph!

PS (July 30th 2022): I completed my Ha-OIII photograph with RGB stars today and will set this as the final version.
