Description

Cygnus is a rich field of objects for we Northern imagers. I wanted to try and target one of the less often seen nebulae, but also gain some long FL data that I could also use for blending with a wide-field image I'm shooting from the backyard.

I shot this with SHO filters, however the blend is Ha as luminance and an S-O bi-color for the color. The Ha is very strong here while the OIII is weak so the SII was a better match for the color channel.

Nebula processing was done starlessly with the narrowband stars added back later. Star removal used Starnet++ to identify the stars and Photoshop's fill function to replace them. Noise reduction with Topaz De-Noise AI. Sharpening and contrast adjustments via High Pass and Unsharp filters.
