This is NGC 6960, the Western Veil Nebula, sometimes called the Witch's Broom. The "time of photo" section in this form doesn't work very well for stacked deep sky images. This is a stack of 74 300-second images, 22 taken night before last and 52 taken last night and early this morning, for a total of a little over six hours of total exposure time.

Processed the nebula and stars separately in both Photoshop and PixInsight.
