Description

I image over a small lake and the humidity coming off the lake in the hot summer means I can't go too close to the horizon. I've always enjoyed the Swan nebula visually, so in spite of the conditions, I tried to image it. This is the result and about the closest to the lake horizon that I've manged to image.
