The veil nebula

[moonshinegnomie]

took 2 days to shoot this since its larger than i can fit in one frame on my camera (its 6x as large as the full moon)
i shot the western veil one day and the eastern the next day,processed them separately and then used lightroom to combine into a panorama

each half is 4+ hours of exposure

5. Trying to take it all in..... the stars in the photo. Hundreds of thousands of stars in the Nebula........

and probably a couple of galaxies in the background.
