      Description

      This image shows part of NGC 6960, the Veil Nebula in Cygnus, imaged in LRGB. While many fine images of this object have been taken with wide-field 'scopes, I haven't seen as many close-ups. This image was taken at approximately 2000 mm focal length and f/7.2. While I'd love to do a mosaic, it would take an enormous amount of time with my system!
