Description

Started imaging this one in 2019 May. Thanks to 3-4 hour nights in May - July at my 51,7N it took me two years to get enough data.
After having finished with narrowband, I was planning to add 2-3 hours in RGB for colored stars. At this time I've noticed a bright molecular cloud at the top (Eastern) side of the nebula. So I decided to go deeper, ending up with 11,5 hours of RGB data. Quite enough to build a special, natural - looking version of the image.

So after fighting gradients for ages , - here are both of them:
- The narrowband image is almost classic SHO with RGB stars added.
- The natural version is RGB with some Ha added as Luminance, SII and OIII added to red and Blue in a nonlinear way.

Which of them do you like more?
