IC 1936, a closeup
I have spent most nights at this Autumn season by shooting dim targets around Cygnus.
At night of 2. November I shot few frames from a brighter target, IC 1396, in Cepheus. Just one hour of H-alpha light and one 20 min frame for O-III and S-II before clouds rolled in. Just got the data processed and the photo turned to be kind of nice, so I'm publishing it here. This is a second photo out of IC 1396 at this Autumn. The first one from the Elephant's Trunk Nebula can be seen HERE.
