Description

These two bright emission nebula near the heart of Cygnus are a narrow band imagers delight, but they also show up quite well in RGB. Imaged from the Grand Teton's National Park (Coulter Bay Village Campground) in early August. I took a lot of subs, and the weather was cold, ideal DSLR imaging circumstances.
