Hi all. I finally got a chance to image after a couple of months for moving to a new home and other busy work. smile I went for NGC6960, part of the Veil nebula. Here is the result. It still needs work, but it is coming along pretty well.
Cheers,
Tyler

PS - I'm happy to be imaging again! grin

That's excellent Tyler! I love how your image clearly shows the increase number of stars below and to the right when compared to above and to the left -- evidence that the shock wave is clearing away the obscuring dust! Wonderful!

Tyler,

Good to see you imaging again! You captured some great color and detail there! I actually prefer the first version, as it looks a little brighter than the second.
