Description

Cygnus Rising (The Swan Rising). Commonly referred to as the Cygnus Wall Complex of the North American Nebula, the image here has been composed and rendered to resemble the swan rising. This is fairly apt since the constellation of Cygnus is a representation of the swan in itself.  You will have to use your imagination. 2020 and 2021 have been extremely difficult years for many, so hopefully the rising of the swan may signify positive change for all of us.

The image was taken using a OSC ASI533 using Optolongs L-Enhance filter. The image was processed solely in Pixinsight.

The colour palette was created from a schema on https://thecoldestnights.com/

Clear Skies,
