Astrophoto: Eastern Veil Nebula – Caldwell 33 – 08/22

A single software plugin changed the astrophotography game. I had to reprocess the Eastern Veil Nebula another time. This is the version using BlurXTerminator in my process.

I had to tackle this piece of sky a few times now. Always when a new genuine milestone appeared in the world of astrophotography. The plugin BlurXTerminator was responsible for the new reprocess in 2024
