Description

The Cygnus Wall in SHO narrowband. 10h 10min total exposure, taken under urban skies from my 6th floor balcony / terrace in Leipzig, Germany.

I intentionally didn't fully remove the purple star halos / rims, to retain that original "Hubble look". Also I kept the greens the way they came out after channel combination (instead of removing them using PixInsight's SCNR process as I / people often do to get a more bluish hue).

I used H alpha as a luminance layer to reduce stars and sharpen the image, which I think is legitimate to do here, as the SII and OIII channels contribute to the color but themselves show little or none dedicated structures.
