Description:

n the heart of the Cygnus lies the star Sadr (Gamma Cygni). It is surrounded by a diffuse emission nebula and dark structures also called Sadr region. Considering the filters used (SHO) I decided this was a great target for testing the Eric Coles multi-level tone mapping. I definitely love this way of overlapping channels to enhance colours in the nebulosity.
