Description:

LBN 331 is an emmision nebula, part of Lynds Bright Nebulae catalog and located north of the supergiant star Deneb in Cygnus constellation. The hydrogen filaments are represented in wave-like forms mainly around the star O2 Cygni. Perhaps the star's stellar winds are responsible for the ionization of the nebula, however I couldn't verify it through information around the web. My attempt was to go with a HaLRGB combination. I found that Luminance channel did not add much value to the image so maybe a HaRGB version would me more than sufficient.
