Description

Here is my first capture of the NGC6960 the Western Veil. This is a bucket list object from when I first looked for the Veil back in the early 80's with my 10" DOB. This was 38 minutes total exposure time with one minute subs. The night was the normal humid Florida night with high thin clouds. All made worse by bad LP in my location.
