NGC 6960 West Veil Nebula

Continuing on my run of trying to image northern targets, I tried my hand at the West Veil Nebula, This DSO barely gets to 30degrees above my horizon, and between the trees and houses, I get about 3.5 hours with it. I've managed to get 3 rather decent nights with it, for a total integration time just shy of 11 hours.


See it big on Astrobin, processing details below.

PixelMath to Bring Stars back in, then very mild BlurX to shrink the stars ever so slightly.


Enjoy, and Thanks for looking!
