Description

A very large nebula complex with lots of dark structures. Also known as NGC 7822. It’s a tricky one though, I see a lot of eye-popping images online but the signal in my H-alpha stack was quite a bit weaker than the other nebula in Cygnus. Getting good color separation from the OIII and SII filters was not too hard though, despite the lower brightness. The image presented here was tone mapped with H-alpha as luminance.

The final image was cropped a lot because I didn’t want to rotate my camera after dialing in the tilt adapter.
