I have been working on this veil a bit lately. So far this is about 1.3 hours of 300 second exposures, bias and flats taken. Dark frames not yet complete. I plan to get in another 3 hours if the weather lets up. I lost another 1.5 hours to dew build up and the night temperatures of 88-90 degrees are not helping with the noise buildup.

Comming along nicely, the veil is not the easiest of targets.

Will look better still with the added data.

Do you use any filtering to keep the glow down.. I'm thinking of a UHC filter or similar.

I have little frame of reference ~in regard to adding the darks~ I can say that what is presented so far is simply beautiful.
