Went a bit mad over the Bank Holiday Weekend imaging this target. Spent three nights overall on it. I have posted the first nights work already but was not happy with the framing as I knew there was more to see below the broomstick.

The second night, 24 and 25 August, I felt was better framed. However, I went a bit mad as this was only my second narrow band session and was I playing with the filter wheel like a loon! I was trying them all Ha, Oiii and Sii, I even popped a few IR/UV subs in for good measure. You know if I could have wrapped cling film around it I would have shot that too....and probably got a better image.

Anyway, with complete disregard as to what the target needed to best show it I realised later (not even on the third night when I was trying sandpaper and cardboard in the filter wheel), that NGC 6960 looks great as an HOO image. Fortunately I had some subs;

Ha 16 x 300s gain 139

Oiii 20 x 300s gain 139

Both captured with the ZWO ASI1600mm Pro Cooled at -15c and a William Optics Z103 mounted on a HEQ6R Pro.

Apologies for the Harry Potter tag, its just when I look at this image I get the impression the witches broom has shot across the bottom from left to right then done a 180 and is heading back in the opposite direction. Not exactly a Nimbus 2000, its a bit more like Triggers!

Enjoy and any feedback welcome.
