Description

Sh2-119 or the Clamshell Nebula is an emission nebula situated in the Cygnus constellation, at around 2200 l.y. It is less well known and imaged compared to the famous North America Nebula. I used a Hubble palette in narrowband and a mix of 300s and 600s exposures with my venerable AZEQ6 pro mount. Processed as usual in Pixinsight, with finishing touches  in Photoshop. The star color is RGB.
