Sh2-124 in Cygnus (HOO-Version)

At the end of August, I captured this beautiful, faint emission nebula in Cygnus, which is rarely photographed and located between North America and Elephant‘s Trunk Nebula. SH2-124 and its surroundings offer a fascinating variety of structures and dark clouds that I processed in SHO first. Here's an alternative HOO version with a more „realistic“ look. I hope you like the picture in this bicolor version, too!
