We had three great nights in a row here in Denver this week. I threw out the first night of images on NGC 6992 because I didn't like the framing but got 2-1/2 hours per channel on the following nights.

This is the NGC 6992 - The Veil East Nebula, taken with the Stellarvue SV80S at f/4.8, Tak EM200 mount, SBIG ST-2000XM and Astrodon Ha, OIII and SII narrowband filters. 5x30 minutes per channel.

This has been my first real use of flats which I automatically acquired at dawn with CCD Commander.

Thanks for looking, comments welcome.
