Description

NGC 6995 The Eastern Veil Nebula. I captured this really just while testing my CGX mount that was just returned from repairs at Celestron. Both R.A. and Dec. motors were replaced and the mount was tuned up.

Taken during an almost full moon, 96% from my Bortle 8 backyard skies.

24x 150s through each narrowband filter.
