Advanced #astrophotography!!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Within the Cygnus constellation lies the bright star Sadr, and surrounding it is the Gamma Cygni Nebula and the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). By making a mosaic (3 images stitched), I was able to capture them all!

As it's a mosaic, the image is HUGE (10,000 pixels by 6,000 pixels), so I can show individual regions. This is the Crescent Nebula. A central star is in its last stages of life, so it is blowing out winds of up to 5.4mil km/hr. It looks a lot like a brain :) #psychtwitter

The Gamma Cygni Nebula (also called the Sadr Region). The large star Sadr is about 2000 LY away and is about 150 times larger than our sun. The nebula surrounding it is about 3000 LY behind Sadr.

This entire project took a ton of planning, and learning many new techniques both in processing as well as the photography portion. It represents 22 hours of imaging over the course of 14 days, and almost 2 full days of processing techniques!
