The veil nebula

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
