Cygnus Loop

one of the most beautiful regions of the Milky Way with many nebulae but this one is in my opinion one of the most impressive , the reason of it's formation is a story on it's own , a sad story but at the same time beautyful for our eyes .

 

the data was collected over three nights with a 500mm doublet refractor , a full frame Canon camera and a dual narrowband filter, I managed to collect 16 hours of data over three nights. the photo processing was done on Pixinsight and Photoshop. the image was processed in two layers one for stars and one forthe nebulosity to avoid the stars bloating up.
