Howard,
That picture in Astronomy Magazine was done by Mark Hanson who has the
observatory about 30 feet south of mine. I don't think the picture in the
magazine does his version justice. Take a look at the version on his
website. I think it has much more detail than mine, but then he has a
14-inch RCOS so it should.

Hi Bernard and all,
I just noticed that on page 68, Feb 2014 issue of Astronomy, there is an
image of NGC6888. Your image show MUCH more detail...
Thanks,
Howard
