Heart of Cygnus

The heart of Cygnus is a region rich in H-alpha and details, the image is a night-sky scape of that region and the Crescent Nebula can be seen in the upper central part to the right of the image My first time using the Redcat 51 and a Nikon Z6II. I am in love with both, Redcat for stellar optics and Z6II for quality and ease! Moon had risen during the last 3 hours of session in 'waning crescent' phase but exposures just got a bit brighter but stack was great in the end. I had preferred to start with a ISO 1600 not 3200 so that it doesn't get over exposed after moon rise! Image was taken on the 2nd of July, Deep Sky Stacker, Starnet ++ and Photoshop 2021 were used in stacking, processing and editing the image.
