Witch's Broom Nebula: 2 Panels and 23 Hours

[HunterHarling]

As one of my favorite parts of the sky, I decided to to a mosaic of the Veil nebula. I may add two more panels to include NGC 6995, however, I decided to process what I have at the moment.

FSQ 106

ASI1600mm

Panel #1 and #2:

ZWO Ha: 330s x 52

ZWO OIII: 330 x 70

This is a two panel mosaic (actually my second deep sky mosaic), stitched and processed in Microsoft ICE and Pixinsight.

Visible in this image is the Witch's Broom Nebula, Pickering's Triangle, NGC 6979, and NGC 6974. I would like more annotations on the dimmer nebulae, but perhaps they do not have catalog numbers. Below is an annotated version:

And a gray-scale image:

I was quite surprised by the amount of OIII signal in NGC 6960, but I've never imaged it with narrow band before🤔

Thanks for looking and as always🙃 comments/ questions appreciated.

I'm thinking I will, but I'm now working on another image, so it might be a week or so...
