Description

NGC 6960 is a part of the well known Cygnus Loop, the beautiful supernova remnant. In 2018 I started a project to look for effects of expansion in my first narrowband images. My OIII-data (53 x 120 s) compared with the POSS1 and POSS2 exposures using blue-sensitive photographic plates shows significant changes.
