NGC6960 - The Veil Nebula in Cygnus - LHa-(RHa)GB enhanced version
LHa-(RHa)GB composition of NGC6960 - Veil Nebula in Cygnus.
This image has been enhanced thanks to a very deep Ha contribution taken with an fast telescope (F/3,2).
Compared with the simply natural color image taken on August 2012 (LRGB version which is also in this gallery) this Ha-improved picture shows a much wider, detailed and deep extension of the nebula with a remarkable filamentary structure, especially beyond the top edges, usually very faint or not even detectable without the narrow band contribution.
