Description

I've been wanting to come back to this target since I spotted the region in a wide field shot of Cygnus last year. The whole Gamma Cygni Nebula is too large to capture with this setup, so I've focused on the portion which resembles a butterfly. Very happy with the result.

Post processing notes: 2x drizzle, weighted FWHM stacking with around 90% of the data. Photometric calibration of the RGB data in Siril. Star removal with StarNet++. SHO palette for the narrowband data. Camera raw filters in photoshop.
