About this image

Almost 6 hrs of exposure on two night (17 and 19th Nov) using a high gain setting (gain 300) on the ASI1600MM camera has led to this image of the "other veil" nebula in Cygnus. It is a faint nebula that I attempted once in Aug 2022 as it was the object of the month for the deep sky section. I have returned to it with better equipment and hopefully better processing skills in PI.

The bright red object on the left of the image is Campbell's Hydrogen star which is now known to be a planetary nebula.
