Starting up the Eastern Veil Nebula
Since I've gotten my monochrome astronomy camera (294mm) I find myself going back to take images again that I've done in One Shot Color (OSC.) One of the targets is the amazing supernova remnant known as the Eastern Veil complex covering six full moons on the sky as seen from Earth, and resides about 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus
This complex is a leftover from a supernova that exploded nearly 8,000 years ago. It gets it name from the seemingly delicate, draped filaments that entwine through the entire Eastern and Western parts of it. There is also another part of it known as Pickering's Triangle.
So, my first reimage is with Hydrogen Alpha and Oxygen iii combined in the HOO palette. H to red; O to green; O to blue.

I'm collecting Sulfur 2 currently to make it a true Hubble Palette.
