Finally caught a sharp shot of the Veil Nebula after 4 cloudy nights

I've been trying to frame the Eastern Veil with my newt for two weeks, and last Tuesday the sky finally cleared enough to grab 90 minutes of data before dawn. Stacking it this morning showed faint wispy structure I couldn't even see in my single 2-minute test frames. Anyone else find that one clear night makes up for a whole string of disappointments?

You ever spend three hours aligning a scope only to realize the finder was knocked loose by a raccoon? Yeah, that night hurt, but the next clear one gave me the best Saturn I've ever had. One good session can totally erase the streak of bad luck.
