NGC 6960 - Western Veil Nebula in h-alpha by Patryk Kizny

“The Veil Nebula, is part of the Cygnus Loop, radio source W78, or Sharpless 103. Other parts of the loop include the ‘Eastern Veil’, the ‘Western Veil’ or ‘Witch’s Broom Nebula’, and Pickering’s Triangular Wisp. It is a large, relatively faint supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. The source supernova exploded some 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and the remnants have since expanded to cover an area of ~3×3 degrees; about 6 times the diameter or 36 times the area of a full moon. The distance to the nebula is not precisely known, with estimates ranging from 1,400 to 2,600 light-years. It was discovered on 1784 September 5 by William Herschel. He described the western end of the nebula as ‘Extended; passes through 52 Cygni… near 2 degree in length.’ and described the eastern end as ‘Branching nebulosity… The following part divides into several streams uniting again towards the south.’” [wikipedia.org]

This image is just a starting point for this object. It is solely 7 x 1800s in H-alpha. No doubt, I need twice as much in H-alpha as well as OIII and maybe some SII.
