After the camera went out of focus last time, I decided to give NGC6995 another try. This time the focus is much better. Here is the result 🙂 The image is also available in full resolution.

For this image I setup the telescope and went to bed… Unfortunately, due to a major temperature drop at night the camera went out of focus. So I think I will visit this object quite soon, again. The image is also available in full resolution.
