Btw, don't sweat not being at a real dark site if you have an interest in planetary, lunar, star clusters and other bright objects.

For example, using filters in the optical train, I shot this part of the Veil Nebula NGC6992 while living in "white zone" in the LA area.

Can I ask what scope, camera and filter you use?

Thanks. We are apartment dwellers now, with too many TREES blocking the sky. Our local astronomy club (long time member) has a 10” refractor in an observatory. We are starting public observing sessions again, the first since March of last year.
I can’t remember precisely, I would have to hunt for my observing log but I remember seeing a portion of the Veil, the one with 51 Cygni in my 6” mak from a quarry in southern Wisconsin. Those were the days…
