About this image

This is my first image of the veil nebula shot in the last week over 4 nights (9/07 to 13/07) , not sure why the last attempt to load the image failed but hopefully this one will work. Still really enjoying learning to take widefield shots and surprised that it is possible to do narrowband imagery against relatively full moon. Processed in Pixinsight as an HOO image.
