Not one of my better images. It is also the longest amount of time I have spent on one image, so I guess it needs darker skies.
Captured on a dual rig with 6 1/2 hours Ha and 8 3/4 hours Oiii using various different length subs trying to bring out the Oiii detail.
Processing all these different lengths and from two different set ups was quite a challenge particularly as my computer also went on the blink at the same time and had to transfer the whole lot to a laptop for processing.

That's a very good shot Carole! Great colours. Mine was taken when Cygnus was just reaching zenith after midnight so less LP; you have done very well given where it is now.

Thanks Roberto

That looks like a good result to me. It's an interesting object.

Thanks Mark, I guess it should really be done in a dark location, but have virtually run out of targets I can do from home so decided to have a bash.
