Hi everyone! I just shot the veil complex from Los Angeles, CA (West Hollywood, specifically- Bortle 9!) with my redcat and would love some feedback  https://www.astrobin.com/scigii/?utm_source=astrobin&&utm_medium=email&&utm_campaign=notification&&from_user=26940 |

The bright lights of Hollywood seem to be no match for those Chroma filters. I have only tried the Veil once with a DSLR and have not revisited. This is a fantastic image of a challenging region. I like that you maintained a lot of the star field with enough reduction that they don't obscure the target. I do see a couple of trailing stars in the upper left and lower right (nothing to the level I end up with on my RC). Should be able to crop them off w/o effecting your composition. Good job. Inspires me to reshoot this maybe next summer. |

Looks great to me Alex, congratulations. Personally I like that you managed to process both a rich and deep starfield and have the target pop at the same time. The starfield looks great and doesn't overwhelm the veil. Nice bit of the faint stuff captured too. |

I would go for a more conservative approach to sharpening, especially with the stars. It's very tempting to see all of the details in the Veil and get thirsty for more, hence a tendency to over-sharpen.

I’ll try to tone it down in the next process version |

I think it looks good, maybe the red is a bit orange but I honestly don't mind. I think it's pleasing to look at. If I were to nitpick I would say perhaps the stars are stretched a bit too far and have some miscoloring, not perfectly round in the edges. But that is nitpicking. I find this target challening as well. The nebula comes out so sharp on it's own so when my team recently did this we had to dial back a lot, especially when it comes to bxt which we barely touched tbh. |

It looks very good, it looks very decent. Did you take calibration frames?
