Description

This a semi-widefield picture of the tail part of Cygnus, including the North American Nebula and the Pelican Nebula, and covers a good cross-section of the Milky Way.

I used the Askar FRA300 to create this 3x6 mosaic. 

Every single panel was stacked in APP and then corrected in GraXpert. Due to 90% fullmoon, I had a rather harsh radiant in my frames. After that, I stacked the mosaic in APP and did the development and stretching in Pixinsight.
