ASTRO: From the summer: Network Nebula in Ha, [OIII] and [SII] and other portions of The Veil

I shot this image of the Network Nebula portion of The Veil using Ha, [OIII]
and [SII] filters.

This was one of the first images I shot using this set of filters.

One of the things I really found interesting in this object is how there is
so much difference in the Ha and [OIII] data.

I've seen the Veil in Ha many times. But if you look at it in Ha only, you
are missing a lot of the object.

See if you agree:

and nearby we have Pickering's Triangle, another portion of The Veil:

And just south of Pickering, is where this portion of The Veil is located:

and nearby is the Witch's Broom

here's the entire Veil with the same filters but shot in a single widefield
shot at low resolution: using a different camera and a different scope:

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them.

Yes, indeed, Richard. Yes, indeed.

Thank you Richard. There's a shot of the Horsehead nebula in the first link that is absolutely stunning.

(Sorry, from the menu at the left in all the links. It's still amazing...)

Hi John,

Thanks for the comments. I am puzzled by your comment about the Horsehead:
did I provide a link to the Horsehead instead of the Veil in my posting? I
looked again but only saw Veil pix. Please help me understand.

Thanks

My mistake, I opened the first link you gave and it was most definitely the veil, but I jumped over to the listing on the left,
which is where I found:

and...
http://www.rdcrisp.darkhorizons.org/...lrgb_small.jpg

I was just so taken by both that I posted to the N/G before I continued on to the other links, and realized that all the links you
gave had the index on the left.

Thanks for the wonderful images.

Richard,

impressive detail in these pictures, especially Pickering's Triangular Wisp
which is very faint...

Richard,

That's a great set of images! Very interesting!

Yep! Looking a nebulae in different wave lengths will give a deeper
understanding of the object.

BTW: The Veil looks different visually with O-III and UHC filters. I've
never tried an H-alpha, but I will (next summer).
