Description

The "Gulf of Mexico", extending from the Cygnus Wall to the Atlantic Gulf Stream, in H alpha. I love the black streamers extending from the darkness of the Gulf towards the Wall. An active region, a star appearing in this image wasn't in one that I took a few years ago. Processing in Maxim, with a DDP stretch and unsharp mask afterwards.
