Description

The "Troubled Heart of the Swan" covering about 3 degrees from the Butterfly Nebula (IC1318) to the Crescent Nebula (NGC6888).  

Hubble Palette, stacked in AstroPixel Processer, then to PixInsight with the "Xterminators", with thanks to Bill Blanshan for his stretching scripts and Narrowband Normalization Process. Finished in Lightroom/Photoshop.

 My location is a Bortle 6+ suburban location, so the NarrowBand filters are a great help.  Also, I have only  a narrow range between buildings and trees limiting me to about 2 hours per night per object
