Description

This is NGC6060, aka the Witch's Broom in Cygnus. This is the Western part of the Veil Nebula. It was captured at the SDAA Club Site near Tierra del Sol, CA in January of 2010. The data were calibrated, aligned and stacked in Maxim DL. Deconvolution was applied to a synthetic luminance frame in Maxim DL, then the remainder of the processing was done in Photoshop CS3.
