Description

My most workintensive project so far. The data was taken in early June in six very short nights. It is a mosaik out of two seperate panels.
(left Panel: 5h22min integration time, right panel 5h04min integration time)

Apart from it being the most nights I`ve ever spent on one image, the processing was the biggest challenge for me. Especially highlighting the faint stuff and getting rid of a lot of light pollution gradients. I`ve definetely missed some parts of the yellow reflection nebula but so far I`m pleased with the result. Maybe I´ll do a reprocessing in a few months ;-)

I just love this region for its colours! :-)
