Description

Here's one of my summer projects. I wanted to do a high detail view of Sharpless 119, the Clamshell Nebula.
I shot this as a 4-panel mosaic using my William Option FLT132 and ASI2600 mono setup. I was worried that the poor weather and smoke wouldn't allow me to complete it, but I managed 40 hrs... just enough to do it justice.

Each summer I tend to return to Cygnus and usually work on something around the North America nebula or Pelican. This time I went for the less popular, but no less beautiful, clamshell.
All data was captured from my deck in the suburbs of Toronto (Bortle 8). Processed in APP and Photoshop.

I hope you enjoy it.
