Description

Beginning of the month of July I decided to work on a first larger project and selected the Cygnus region around the Crescent Nebula. I particularly like all those dust lanes and swirls but also the dark gases further down to the left of the Tulip Nebula. Unfortunately my OSC camera gave up and needs repair. I got panels 1,2 and 3 and shot panel 4 the night my temperature sensor gave up. At this point of time I am not sure how long I will be without camera and if I will even be able to finish all 6 panels this season. So for the moment I processed the first 2... I used the Ha and Oiii extracts to create an RGB composition in SIRIL and processed the image in Affinity Photo.
