Description

A great classic of this season and always a joy for the eyes!
Also a relatively easy nebulosity to image, provided one uses some more or less narrowband filter.
The night was nice, could even glimpse some 5th magnitude stars near Vega when at the zenith, which is a lot from my urban location.
Not all was perfect: the optical train was not perfectly on-axis, so the flattener worked better on the right side of the image than on the left one, but overall it was a pleasure to have a night of nice sky (just some passing clouds before 2 am but nothing afterward), with a decently cool climate and the beauties of Cygnus up there.
As usual not so sure about the color rendition: some blueish areas may hint at OIII-rich regions inside the mainly H-alpha nebula?
