About this image

I was sweeping the sky with the vixen bt81 binocular telescope and had been enjoying a nice view of the veil complex, the western veil was particularly prominent so I decided to catch a short 200 sec single exposure through the 190mm maksutov newtonian which is mounted to a NEQ6 Pro.
