Description

After one and a half year in astrophotography I publish my first image, thinking it is worth to be shown to you.
I'm very proud of it, I consider this my first respecable result, where I could get to the result I had in mind by controlling noise, details, artifacts, stars in some satisfactory extent and in a narrowband context.

Processing has been done in Pixinsight and includes actually many steps, including Starnet, Adam Block's star dehemphasize, Ez Lum deconvolution on Cygnus and many others (not least to reduce some tilt in my optical train).

Thanks for your opinions and for watching!
And thank to the developers for these powerful softwares, from Astrobin to Pixinsight!

ps: I see a monster with a red eye hanging over the cygnus, so I would call this framing "Beyond good and evil", recalling Nietzsche and a iconic mixte climbing route in Mont Blanc. Am I the only one?
