Description

IC5068 is a faint emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus, approximately 2,000 light-years from Earth. This nebula, often overlooked due to its proximity to the brighter North America Nebula (NGC 7000), is part of the same interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen. I love the intricate patterns and structures within IC5068. Rich in hydrogen-alpha, Sulfur II, and Oxygen III, made the Hubble palate the go to for the object. Stars have always been my struggle, and I think I have finally found the solution. After hours and hours of just focuing on the stars, I believe I have found my go to method and this is the firts image using this idea. I really like how they came out and do not take away from the nebulosity.

Thanks for looking!
