Description

A couple of weeks ago I I took advantage of a rare clear night before the moon rose. Since I hadn't shot a close up of the Veil Nebula in a while, I decided to shoot NGC 6960. From my front yard (Bortle 5 skies).

The setup was Pentax K-1 and Pentax 150-450 f/5.6-6.3 @ 450mm f/5.6

I mounted it on the Losmandy G-11 and used my MGEN 3 for guiding.

Processing was done by a user on Cloudy Nights to whom I am quite indebted and appreciative.
