Here is my first attempt at the Cygnus bubble first discovered by Dave Jurasevich.

Consists of 7.5 hours of H-a and 5 hours of OIII, STL11K camera, 305mm F3.8 Honders on 3600 mount.
Very much reduced size.

Very cool, Rolando! Nice shot, too! I attempted this same FOV last night, but ran into tracking trouble, so any results will have oval stars for now sad
