Propeller nebula (DWB 119) in SHO

I collected a further 6.5 hours of SHO data on the Propeller nebula in Cygnus which I combined with a previous run of 12 hours to give a total integration time of 18 hours. The additional data has brought out some of the fainter structures of this vibrant nebula which does resemble a two-bladded propeller or "X" shape. Data acquired with an ASI 533MM Pro camera using a Sky-Watcher Esprit 80 ED triplet refractor fitted with a field flattener. Integration and processing done in Pixinsight, with final adjustments made in Adobe Lightroom.
