The Veil Nebula is the aftermath of an enormous star explosion (a Supernova) 5000 to 10,000 years ago. This photo shows the shredded remains of the star. I used the same modified Canon 300D along with a William Optics 80ED Refractor @ F/5.6 (F.L.= 448mm). Exp.time: 49x5min = Over 4hr @ ISO1600. To reduce hot pixels, darks frames were taken at the same temperature and time then subtracted. www.RobsAstroimaging.com

The optics on your 80ED refractor are amazing. How do you attach the 300D, and how do you track for so long and keep the scope and camera stable when doing 49 exposures? Its an amazing feat of both patience and expertise.

Thanks for an insight into this attractive and fascinating genre of astrophotography. Maybe one day I'll have enough in my wallet to learn to do this too.
