Veil nebulae with the Seestar S50

The Seestar S50 was used to capture data of three area of the Veil nebula region. This was done on different nights under varying conditions resulting in different integration times for each object. The integration times are shown in the watermarked images.

A point to note is that Pickering's Triangle does not have an official designation so in order to get to it I sent the Seestar S50 to the West Veil (NGC 6960) and then moved the scope onto Pickering's Triangle. However, the original target was recorded on the watermarked image.
