For the third time I am trying to capture the whole Veil nebula, but again, there is a part missing. This time I used the smallest telescope, I have at home – newton 150/600, reduced to focal length 438 mm, by ASA 0.73 reducer. This picture contains the first picture in the left top corner and the second picture in the right bottom corner. Anyway, there is still something missing, therefore next time I have to reduce the focal length even more or do a mosaic.

Jakub,
This is probably my favourite of all your shots so far. The veil nebula looks as mysterious as it is majestic. I enjoy these pictures so much!
Best,

Hi Eric,
I am glad, that you like it.
Next time you visit us, we can organize some observing session.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to see such nebulae, but the planets are also nice….
