Took my first stab at NGC 6960 last week. I think this might be the first time I've imaged this and it's definitely becoming a favorite. I loved fellow club member's rendition of it a year or so ago. Rough draft since I'm out the door in a few... this was ~1 hour of 1m exposures with Canon 6D at ISO 1600... Metaguide for tracking...
