Finally a clear night last night. This obscure region is in Cygnus near Deneb.

Rolando,
That's a cool set of images. I like the wide field version. It sure cropped down nicely though.

Hi Rolando,

That's a nice set of images! Great no matter how it's presented!

(also known as the Clown Nebula)

I kinda think of it as the "Nautilus Nebula". The series of dark lanes remind me of the stripes on a Nautilus shell.

How long were the subs?

Nice depth and detail. I do not recall seeing this nebula before.
