Northern Cygnus Region

Hello All, Another shot for you, It's one of Northern Cygnus that I took 3 weeks ago from my dark site back at home again. I just only got around to tidying it up today. I think it came out well, I've tried as little processing as possible, just slight adjustment to levels in photoshop, and I put it through a great little **FREE** program called Hotpixels that came with the CD included in the BBC's sky at night magazine, i thin it looks more like a film image

You can easily see the North America nebula plus the Pelican nebula to it's lower right near Deneb - top centre, and all that neblosity around the Gamma Cygni region, the left one looks like a butterfly

Keith, when is that star party down there??

Brought out the NA nebula more so than my recent shot. Very nice.

You raised the bar and you know what that means.

I'm going to have to go outside and take a better shot.

Verrrrrry good!!!
The north american nebula looks great, not over done.
