Description

This is a two-part mosaic I did of the Cygnus Loop, a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus. This particular image was taken from a very dark location, however the moon was in full effect for most of the shooting time. I used a dual narrow band filter and I think it did a pretty decent job keeping the excess light out of the image.
