There's no other images that make you realise how small we all are. Thanks for sharing!

For the Veil Nebula I used an Askar FMA180 scope because it's a very large celestial object, for the others I use a WO ZS61 mkii.

Thanks for the comments people.

ah ok.. so lenses for a camera.. rather than a telescope that you attach a camera to.. good to know..

Just to clarify, these are both standard telescopes although the Askar can be used for terrestrial photography, the big difference is the camera. It's a fully astrophotography camera, a ZWO asi533mc Pro.

I envy the knowledge, skills and hardware you posses to create these images.

Are you in the UK, if so, where did you go to capture these?

Nice photos. I had a dabble once and purchased an ioptron sky guider Pro, but gave up due to the weather
