This is a panoramic view (two frames mosaic) of the wonderful Veil Nebula , a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus.
It could be framed better but considering the difficulties I am quite happy with the result.

Details:

Telescope : Takahashi FSQ106ED
Mount : Takahashi EM200 Temma II Jr
Camera : Canon 350D Baader modified with Hutech IDAS LPS
