Description

An amazing area of the sky - I'm surprised I picked up this amount of nebulosity in 2.5 hrs.

One interesting fact I learned about this region: Sadr (gamma-Cygni) is not associated with the apparently surrounding nebulosity; it lies about 1800 light-years from Earth, while the nebulae are much farther - almost 5000 light-years away.

Description: Went back to this old data to see what I could do with a completely new workflow. Pixinsight was used for most of the processing, with some touch-ups in Photoshop. There were a lot of challenges to deal with - mainly star halos and internal reflections from Sadr. Also, the background was very noisy (since I wasn't dithering back then). Overall, though, I like it better than the previous attempts (versions A through H :)).
