ST-4000XCM, 1800s total exposure 9/13/12 Lake San Antonio, CA

Obtaining good-quality images of the Veil Nebula has been an ongoing project, but the images shown here are the best so far. Even with the larger area CCD, we can only image part of it in a single exposure. The portion shown here includes the bright star 52 Cygni.

Starshoot DSCI, 12 exposures, 30s each 9/25/08 Lake San Antonio, CA

One of our first attempts at the Veil Nebula, near 52 Cygni (outside of field of view).

Here is part of the eastern half, showing a more complicated structure.

One of our first attempts at the Veil Nebula.

Another photo of a small part of the Eastern half of the Veil nebula. This is a much longer exposure sequence than we obtained last year, and the structure shows up much better.

Starshoot DSCI, 83 exposures, 30s each 9/19/09 Lake San Antonio, CA

Same as above but using 30s exposures. Fainter details can be seen in the nebula, but the resolution is poorer due to tracking issues.

SBIG ST-4K with C14 at f/7, 1800s total exposure 10/03/24 Lake San Antonio, CA

This is a close-up of one of the brightest and most intricate portions of the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant in Cynus. This was taken just after adjusting the telescope collimation, so I was hoping for sharp resolution, though there appears to be some slight stretching of the stars along one axis, likely a tracking issue since I didn't see this in other images.
