About this image

After a long break due to poor night skies and work, and despite the automated observatory roof failing, I took my first narrow-band image of the popular Summer object the Veil Nebula.

I've previously imaged this object in both the UK and Tenerife using a DSLR camera, but never in narrow-band.
