Description

It's been a while since I could do some deep-sky imaging due to unfavorable weather conditions. As summer is already here I wanted to pick a target that to my experience is not so famous or often imaged. LBN 331 is an emmision nebula, part of Lynds Bright Nebulae catalog and located north of the supergiant star Deneb in Cygnus constellation. The hydrogen filaments are represented in wave-like forms mainly around the star O2 Cygni. Perhaps the star's stellar winds are responsible for the ionization of the nebula, however I couldn't verify it through information around the web.
My attempt was to go with a HaLRGB combination. I found that Luminance channel did not add much value to the image so maybe a HaRGB version would be more than sufficient.
