Summer Triangle setting in the west

The three bright stars that form the so-called Summer Triangle: Deneb in the top right, Vega below, right-centre, and Altair, left-centre. The gaseous-looking light isn't plasma but thin clouds in the west reflecting the light pollution from within the city. This is four 15 second exposures (ISO800) stacked in DeepSkyStacker. Levels and curves adjusted in Photoshop CS2
