Default Sargasso Sea: emission nebulae in Cygnus

Hi all,


this is a new image was my target last night, here it is:

Standard:

Hires:

Map:
http://www.danilopivato.com/tabulae_..._map_hires.htm

Telelens Nikon 300mm f/2,8 @ f/4
Sbig ST-10XME H-alpha filter
Location: Balcony Observatory in Rome

Agreeing with John Gleason also I like to call this area of the sky:
Sargasso Sea

In the bottom right to the limit of visibility is the Soap Bubble Nebula.
300mm focal length is probably the minimum to photograph?

Enjoy,

Danilo Pivato
