NGC 6960 - Western Veil - 350D

[jcm]

Did not realise that this is much fainter than the Eastern Veil. Perhaps try less images but longer exp for each image. Thin cloud did not help. Faint satellite trail through the bright star.

130mm APO , F6 , 30 X 2min , 800 iso.

Very nice that one. Very awkward to get that faint beasty as big as it is.

Well done John, it is faint and you've managed to pull out some great detail. I wouldn't complain about high cloud hereabouts, some of us would give our eye teeth just to be able to catch sight of a star once in a while

That is really nice John, well done.

That's a lovely capture of the 'Witches Broom'. This is another tricky object because of the coincidental positioning of that bright star (52 Cyg)

[CELESCOPE]

super capture that John, you have done a remarkable job on that one. lovely detail colour is good ,so all in all , you should be well pleased.

Excellent image, truly superb. The Veil is simply enormous, and this captures not only the Witch's Broom, but many of the small knots of remnant spread out throughout the nebula. It's nearly impossiblt to visually detect these small knots, but they show up very nicely in this image. Well done!
