Here are a couple of favorite targets in Cygnus and Cepheus. They make a pretty pair. Details at link:

Thomas,

This is a really nice shot; I love the Ha detail on your red channel.

Wow, Tom, really nice. Such beautifual stars. All this time I've been thinking those stars are just getting in the way of the nebulas I've been trying to shoot. ;-)

What are those red lines off the star in the bottom right corner?

Also, what are some of the imaging and processing details?

Thanks,
Phil

Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous shot. That is quite a unique image. I love the framing; a beautiful contrast of objects and those Ha regions in the galaxy are stunning.

Greg.
