NGC 6960 - the West Veil

A bit heavy on the saturation, but a nice clear image of NGC 6960 - the West Veil, also known as the "Witch's Broom". This supernova remnant is on the other side of the massive Veil nebula in the constellation Cygnus that my previous image, the East Veil, comes from. The bright star is 59 Cygni. I'll have to keep working on this one, but pleased so far with the data I have.
