Reprocessing of my previous image :
http://www.astrobin.com/197975/The field is 8x5.21 deg.
Included DSOs : NGC6888 (Crescent Nebula), M29, NGC6910, NGC6914, IC1311.
Two nights of acquisition in center France during my holidays. It's the first time a make such a mosaic and it was very hard for me to process all the images. There is still a lot of noise due to the small amount of images.
