Eastern Veil Nebula ( or at least half of it ). An stack of 4 * 42 second exposures with my Celestron NexStar 11 GPS, Meade DSI with a 1000 Oaks LP-1 broadband nebula filter and a HyperStar lens ( 500mm F1.9 ). Upsampled 2X with Paint Shop Pro, stacked with RegiStax, and reduced 80% with Paint Shop Pro. You can see a bit of field rotation as this was done with an alt-az mount with the nebula near the zenith. October 2005.
