About this image

Cygnus is justing rising into view around 11pm and now offers good overnight observation. I took 6 hours of narrowband data across 2 nights (21 and 24th May). The rsulting data has been renedered in the SHO pallette using PI. This rich filed of view shows the interactions of dark and emission nebulosity against a densely packed star field.
