Description

Please zoom the picture to full, then you can see just to the left of the central star 68 Cyg the tiny planetary nebula Weinberger 2-225 (WE 2-225) and roughly on the line from 68 Cyg to the lower left corner the tiny blue PN Outers 5 (Ou 5).
When prozessing the image, I tried to create a harmonious color palette that shows the differentiation of the narrow bands and also the interesting spatial depth of the image.

Since my Optolong L-eXtreme filter with FWHM 7nm was too wide for me at full moon, I used the narrow OIII 4nm filter with the ASI6200MC camera.
Then only 3 pixels of the Bayermatrix are used (2x green and 1x blue), but the contrast was noticeably better.
