Description

Another nice area in Vulpecula full of contrast.  A bright Ha region with features similar to the famous Elephant Trunk nebula. A tight cluster in NGC6823 and dark lanes running in between rich star fields.

This is a 2x1 panel mosaic taken in late May/June 2022 under nautical twilight as it does not get dark here in London again until August.

For a beautiful close-up, look at Robert Eder's version here.  He came up with the monicker.
