Description

A rarely imaged target that piqued my interest recently, since I wanted to deviate a bit from the well known objects in Cygnus.

While it is an Ha rich region, the nebula itself is still relatively faint and required multiple stretching iterations to bring it out front and centre. I did not want to overdo the final product given that it was starting to lose definition and the clouds were getting washed out. I am sure that better results can be had with longer integration and darker sky conditions - definitely a target that i will revisit in the future.
