The Witch’s Broom

 NGC 6960, aka the Western Veil Nebula or the Witches Broom, is a supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus. Almost all light from the nebula is emitted in the O III band, hence the dominant blue/blue-green color. I could only manage an hour of integration on this object, but it is bright enough to give a decent image even at this short integration time.
