Witch Rides Western Veil

I wanted to make a Halloween image and chose the Witch's Broom Nebula (Western Veil/NGC6960) for obvious reasons.
This was a particularly difficult image to capture with my telescope. It took many attempts with failures. My scope will not track anything above 85° altitude, and by the time it was dark enough to begin tracking, it had already risen above that mark. I persisted, knowing the final image would be worth the trouble.
After stacking over 300 10-second exposures using Siril, I did some final post-processing… and look at what eventually became visible… THE WITCH riding the broom!!! I hope you take this with the light-hearted Halloween fun I had intended. The actual final image is at my website.
