Description

The bright star in the middle, 52 Cyg, created a halo that appears here exactly as it did in the sub frames.'Witch's Broom' or 'Finger of God' - I love the nick names that are given to astrophotography targets and they are certainly a lot easier to remember than the catalogue number NGC 6960.
