Description

NGC 6960, the Western Veil Nebula.  The nebula is processed as modified HOO.  The stars are RGB colour on Ha luminance.  It is often called the Witch's Broom nebula when viewed at a 90 degree rotation relative to this.  But I prefer this orientation, where it looks like a woman reaching for the stars.
