Description

In the constellation of Cygnus one can find NGC 6914. In this region emission nebulae, as well as absorption and reflection nebulae can be found. In the beginning of June I photographed this region, just like Tim Schuurman (a fellow astrophotographer). We shared our data and then I worked on this, but all still in low resolution.

Now I reprocessed the data using the Drizzle option in pixinsight, blowing up the original to twice its size and then in the end reducing it back to the original size, while obtaining more fine detail.

Furthermore also Digitized Sky Survey was incorporated in the image to get more detail in the dark nebulae. Altogether I think it resulted in a nice image of this interesting region.
