Description

The Cygnus region is full of emission nebulae that is difficult to see because of the rich star field it is in.  I used StarXTerminator to suppress the stars to help bring out the nebulae.  I let the focus get away from me on this sequence, so the stars on the edges are not as good as the Sigma 105mm Art lens is capable of producing.  Just under 4 hours of 1 minute exposures were used for this image.
