Description

I liked the subject very much because of the dark nebulae as they are in front of the ionized hydrogen, but the nearby bright star made it very difficult to compose.

Besides the bright star on the right, the Jellyfish Nebula isn't really in the composition either, so this instinctive solution remained. Although I like 1: 1, social sites can handle it.

Maybe a UHC layer wouldn’t have been bad that would have had a star reduction function, so I used a stronger star reduction.

I did well with the H-alpha filter, it highlighted the hydrogen mists mostly behind the dark mists.

The system is not exactly under a good sky. There is light pollution as well as settling flue gases. You will change this, hopefully in the summer, but rising material prices will not help me.
