Description

Started on this region in summer and got distracted by other targets. Could use a couple more hours of SII data but now the Veil is too low in my sky ("next season...").

I'm enjoying the Narrowband Normalization process for PixInsight, developed by Bill Blanshan + Mike Cranfield. Gives you a good real-time preview while you fiddle around. Here's my take on NGC 6960.
