IC5068 in Cygnus

[pietervdv]

Hi everybody,

After a 2 months without any astro activity, friday night was looking clear. Although transparency wasn't very good... I have made another panel for my cygnus mosaic which I started last year.

This is IC5068 in cygnus, a very nice region underneath the pelican nebula. The gas looks like the strokes of a paintbrush. I imaged from dusk till dawn on this (16 x 900s), so 4 hrs though a baader 7nm HA filter.

Scope was my trusty np101.

Comments / remarks are very welcome!

Super contrast and detail Pieter,

The finished combined mosiac will be something to see.

I remember this area from widefields so great to see it closeup with those diagonal lines criss crossing.
