Description

This is a 4-panel pano of a swath of the Cygnus Region, including the star Sadr, Butterfly Nebula, and the Crescent Nebula.

It's a total of 12 hours of exposure time (3 hrs/panel), shot with my Antlia ALP-T dual narrowband filter.  The moon was pretty bright for a couple of the panels, and added some gradients that were a monster to remove.  Not sure about some of the colors within the region, as they may not be true due to the removal of the gradients.

Regardless, it's amazing to me to see all of the "stuff" in this direction.  I had no idea even this would be possible to photograph from my backyard in the city.

Feel free to let me know any thoughts!
Clear Skies!
