Photographing a Star that EXPLODED 8000 Years Ago! - The Eastern Veil Nebula

This video will bring you along for 3 nights of shooting a distant Nebula, even including the annoying nights where the weather is working against me. I also have some new gear ( a ZWO EAF ) that I get to properly test and produce my sharpest image ever!
