Description

The Loch Ness Monster, in constellation Vulpecula, sits between Vega and Altair and is a beautiful mix of dark and reflection blue nebula, surrounded by a sea of golden stars. This object is quite big, to get the entire shape in the FOV I had to make a 2 panel mosaic with the square sensor of my 533mm. Extra work but twice the resolution and details.
