Description

Got a gap in the clouds for a few hours Saturday night but still had some light pollution. Not great seeing. Only 30 5-minute subs, though. I've been waiting to add this shot to my collection for a while now. The Optolong L-eXtreme really cut down on the light pollution for a good shot. I boosted the saturation a bit to get the crystal latticework to stand out a bit. Every time I see the Cygnus Loop I think of the "Alien" movies.
