Description

I have been sitting on this image for months. Trying to get it to my vision. I have wanted a nice widefield of this region for a while, highlighting the beautiful large scale rolling hills of gas dotted with little striking features like NGC6888 and WR134. I went with a full SHO color palette and used LHE to bring out contrast to ensure I had a nice sense of depth to the image. I framed it as carefully as I could, but still forgetting about and missing the soap bubble near the Crescent. Overall I am thrilled with the image color and detail. This will be my last image this year so I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy holidays. Love the community and everything you do for amateur astronomy and astrophotography.

Take care and clear skies,
Dan.
