      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. 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!

      This of absolutely amazing! Can you tell me about your process? I think this is so cool, but I’m kinda terrified about how much math is involved. 😂

    3. I’m absolutely in awe, this is wonderful! Sometimes I forget there’s nothing separating us from these things but distance. It’s really there, and I love that we get to see it thanks to pictures like this 💖 So impressive!

    4. As a kid I really wanted a telescope my mum bought me a microscope instead 🤣

      This just reminded me of that dream lol
