Description

This is an absolutely crazy image.  I almost never shoot open clusters.  To me they're JABOS (just a bunch of stars) but I decided to try M29, thinking that in the middle of Cygnus there might be some interesting background.  Wow, was I surprised.  Emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, streaks of clouds going every which way.  M29 is actually right in the middle, looking lost and forlorn.
