Thanks everyone for the kind words ... glad you like the result.

Another three nights starting this evening with the Western Veil (NGC 6960) so as to complete the imaging of this wonderful area in Cygnus. Back at it tomorrow for the Eastern Veil (NGC 6992) and Sunday with the final piece and the Central Veil (NGC 6974/79).

It must be horrible just to sit there and have your whole weekend planned knowing that you will have clear skies :mrgreen:

It must be horrible just to sit there and have your whole weekend planned knowing that you will have clear skies :mrgreen:

Excuse me? Just the weekend? Why so short-sighted when the next ten days are just sun, sun and more sun. :D

Seriously, I have the following schedule:

(1) this evening .... NGC 6960 ... Western Veil
(2) tomorrow .... NGC 6995 .... Eastern Veil
(3) Sunday .... NGC 6974/79 .... upper central Veil

(4) Monday .... IC 5140 ... Cocoon Nebula in Cepheus (test images from last night were STUNNING)
(5) Tuesday ... NGC 7023 ... Iris Nebula in Cepheus (test images from last week were also STUNNING)
(6) Wednesday .... M27 .... all-nighter involving Ha + LRGB
(7) Thursday .... Abell 74 in Vul ... very dim and challenging PNe
(8) Friday .... B143 in Aquila (test images also very impressive)
(9) Saturday ... open for now ... suggestions?
(10) Sunday .... open for now ... suggestions?

"Blondie" has quite a negative attitude towards astronomy and astrophotography. I have tried to instill an interest but nothing doing! :wink: :evil:

How about standing back with a big grin and take some rounds of applause

OR

NGC6826 The Blinking Nebula (plenty of oppertunities for puns when you post the image)
