Just as with the eastern veil nebula, I found this region to be very challenging to process -- so many stars. I also found suppressing 52 Cygni, so the see the delicate filaments around it, to be a headache. The Ha suppressed some of the OIII blue green but I was trying to bring out the many HII filaments of the region.

Anyway, this is what I came up with:

Comments/Criticisms are always welcome.

Best,

Tom
