Description

I was looking for a target at 11PM and came across NCG 6960. I had received some excellent input on filters from a very talented fellow member that I decided to put to use. Typically with a mono camera I would use an Ha and an OIII filter for this narrowband target. However, with my OSC QHY163C, I remembered that my Astronomik CLS had good Ha and OIII pass thru. So I ran a number of 360 s exposures. Of course I did not get the ideal filtering and had to de-saturate the background. The experience was encouraging enough that I want to see if I can get the entire Veil on a single frame and use this combination.
