Iiro's DeepSky Sketches

Name: NGC 6960	Other name: LBN 191
RA: 20h 45.7m	DEC: +30° 43'
Constellation: CYG
Type: Supernova remnant
Magnitude: 7
Size: 210' x 160'
Description: pB,cL,eiF,Kappa Cyg invl
Notes: H V 15,Veil Nebula western part,* 52 CYG invl
Observer: Iiro Sairanen
Location: Ahola, Joutseno, Finland
Date: 1/2.9.2006 0:00
Instrument: Newton 110/805 mm
Magnification: 47x	Filter: UHC
Field: 64'	Seeing: 2
Background sky: 2	NE lim mag: 6.2
Visuality: II	Height: 58°
Weather: +12°C, moist and random clouds
Description: The brightest part of NGC 6960 is pretty difficult without the UHC filter due to glare from the 4 mag star 52 Cygni. With the filter it appears as a fuzz arc, the borders are very sharp on the north and get fuzzier near by 52 Cyg. Clouds came after 20 min observing and ruined this session.

Date: 22/23.9.2006 22:20
Instrument: Newton 305/1464 mm
Magnification: 37x	Filter: O-III
Field: 74'	Seeing: 3
Background sky: 3	NE lim mag: 6.4
Visuality: II	Height: 59°

Description: A very beautiful nebula around 52 Cygni. The northern part is the brightest, a faint hint of filamentary on the west edge. The southern part is divided in two arms. O-III helps a lot.

Instrument: Newton 457/2280 mm
Magnification: 71x	Filter: OIII

Visuality: -	Height: 0°
Weather: Clear, windy, +16°C. Northern lights
Description: Sumu näkyi erittäin hienosti OIII -suotimella suoraan katsoen. 17mm okulaarilla sumussa oli havaittavissa selviä kuitumaisia rakenteita, etenkin sumun reunat korostuivat kirkkaampina. Piirroksessa näkyy ainoastaan 52Cyg -tähden pohjoispuoli, koska kenttä oli liian pieni koko sumun piirtämiseen. Revontulet haittasivat ajoittain sumun näkymistä.
