Sadr Region of Cygnus in H-Alpha under "Super Moon"

[Gina]

Widefield view of the Sadr Region of Cygnus captured in H-Alpha with Astrodon 3nm Ha filter.  Just under 3 hours total integration captured in the early hours of 7th June.  Processed in PixInsight.  Calibrated with darks and flats, star aligned and stacked (Image Integration).  Post-processed using ABE (Automatic Background Extraction) to remove the background gradient resulting from a very bright moon then stretched using HistogramTransformation (levels).  Finally the image was scaled for posting here.

Very good indeed.

I'm very pleased with the result - wasn't expecting that with the moon.

Amazing photo.

Excellent.  Interesting to have a description of the processing you used too.

That is one gorgeous image Gina!

I love how well the broad nebulosity contrasts with the tiny details (for example the Crescent and the fainter veils on the bottom part of the image). Sadr is so well controlled that it almost disappears in the middle of the composition (rather than burning everything to smithereens, which is more my experience :D).

Also: incredible image for a supermoon night!

That is a wonderful image Gina, even more so given the near full moon.
