Looking through the Pea soup in Dayton Last night, I could only see about 9 stars visible, between light Pollution, fire smoke haze, and the poor transparency, I was pleasantly surprised to have gotten this nice image while testing my 8 inch scope out on the Veil Nebula Supernova Remnant Region. NGC6960 Veil Nebula, Witches Broom, and Pickering’s Triangle. 2,100 light years away from Earth.
Celestron RASA 8 inch diameter scope , ZWO 294MC cooled Cmos Camera, Starizona Filter drawer, IDAS NBZ Filter, 60 x 1 minute, no Auto-guiding, 60 min total, using Pro-track on Software Bisque MyT Robotic Mount. captured on 06-17-2023 from my (bortle8) backyard in Dayton, Ohio.
