Veil Nebula West (NGC 6960)

Last one from me for Qld Astrofest 2016. Single frame effort on the Western Veil region. Snapped for an hour or two each evening in between M8/M20 and before M31 high enough to start acquisition.

I'd love to do a veil mosaic at some point, but a big effort with my current FOV. Went after the east end last year, so tried for the "Witches' Broom" and smidge of Pickering's triangle this time.

LHaRGB 80:60:35:35:35 minutes (All unbinned - 10min Lum, 15min Ha, 5min RGB)
Taken with the FSQ106/QHY9/OAG/HEQ5Pro rig combo.

Bit soft in one corner, but pleased to bring out some dust in the bottom half I haven't managed to "see" before. Larger version here.
