Description

I took me 7 nights to finish this picture since I always had only short time before Moon rises..finaly it is about 20hours of total integration time and big portion of it is H-Alfa part. I did fight with crazy light gradients from the city light pollution and Moon, it is still little visible, but hopefully not so disturbing at the end. H-Alfa data helped a lot in RED channel as same as backround details.  There are pretty interesting structures all around the central nebula.  Original version is also very nice, just with the less blue tint in nebulae... some may like it more
