Description

This image of the Gamma Cygni Nebula was captured over several nights the last week of August 2021. I thought it was an interesting and different subject and the integration looks very much different than the typical SHO image. 

I think this is my best image to date.  I did little to change the color balance on the Nebula other than balance each channel prior to integration. I think this is why the colors look so natural. I used Starnet to process the stars separately and greatly reduce their prominence and allow the nebula to stand out a bit more. 

I appreciate any comments or Likes, and I hope you all enjoy this image.

Description: In this version I did a slight boost in brightness, but mostly I worked on desaturating the star Sadr that was somewhat distracting.

I would very much appreciate any comments on which version you prefer.
