    Hey Reddit, my name’s Rudy and I’m an astrophotographer. Here’s an image I captured recently from my backyard of a section of the Veil Nebula, an enormous supernova remnant from a star that exploded about 10,000 years ago in the constellation Cygnus.

    Please check out my Instagram if you’re curious what else I’ve been able to capture from my backyard!

    I captured this image over the course of several nights using the following setup ([link to a photo of it](https://imgur.com/a/kYK6kxy)):

    • ⁠ZWO ASI533MC Pro
    • ⁠Askar FRA400
    • ⁠Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro
    • ⁠ZWO ASI120MC-S guide camera
    • ⁠TS-Optics 60mm guidescope
    • ⁠ZWO ASIAIR Mini
    • ⁠Optolong L-Enhance

    Hope you enjoy it, please drop any questions you have in the comments and I’d be more than happy to explain.
