Description

One of my favourite captures from summer in Cyprus, on one of the most perfect astronomy nights ever.

The Cygnus Loop Supernova Remnant in Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Capture was a Sharpcap livestack of only six, three minute frames under near-perfect atmospheric conditions.

Remastered last night in Photoshop. Full resolution: http://nova.astrometry.net/image/5137262
