Triple APOD - July 31, 2024: Eastern Veil Nebula from Jasper by Brian Alford
Dark skies are one of the most important things for visual astronomers and astrophotographers alike. Light pollution adds a bright haze in front of anything in the night sky, obscuring faint objects completely. And while worse light pollution can be made up for to an extent by increased total integration time, it's still worth getting to as dark of a sky as you can, as just a couple minutes of images from a dark sky can be worth several nights of imaging from a city.
The Eastern Veil Nebula has many faint, finely structured filaments of Hydrogen and Oxygen emission, and this means Brian's imaging time from the dark skies of Jasper was more than worthwhile for revealing otherwise very difficult to image features.
