Description

I went outside last night to try and image Rho Ophiuchi in Scorpius. The sky looked clear but after taking several images is was apparent that there were clouds and Jupiter was giving me fits because of it's brightness. I decided to try another part of the sky. It looked clear around Cygnus so I began imaging the Milky Way there. Again it was obvious that there were clouds. Even though I couldn't see them with my eyes my camera sensor definitely could. I decided to leave everything set up and to wait a while to see if the sky cleared. It did clear and I got an image of the Milky Way in Cygnus. I was looking at my images today and viewed several of my images of the Milky Way in Cygnus that had clouds. I kind of liked the way the image looked. I picked what I thought was the best image and processed it. I can't tell you how many times I've begun imaging only to discover clouds that I could not see with my eyes. Normally I trash my images with clouds but for some reason this image appealed to me.

Description: I didn't have anything to do so I decided to reprocess this image. I like the color better in this image than I did in the original image.
