Description

SADR Region is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr (γ Cygni) at the center of Cygnus's cross. This picture shows IC 1318 / gamma Cyg nebula , NGC 6914 , IC 1311 , NGC 6888 / Crescent nebula in the center right as well as some other nebulous regions. The star Sadr is approximately 1,800 light years distant, while the nebula is much further away, at 4,900 light years.

To achieve this colour pallette I used PixInsight : Dynamic narrowband combinations with PixelMath that is published on https://thecoldestnights.com/2020/06/pixinsight-dynamic-narrowband-combinations-with-pixelmath/ and finished off in Photoshop. Although I used Pixinsight for most of the post integration processing (I use APP to integrate the subs)
