This is possibly my favorite nebula, but I've never taken an image of it I really liked. I tried 180 second images for this one, too--50 of them--because the very bright star 52 Cygni tends to create a bubble of light that doesn't help. A step in the right direction, but it's noisy.

@catherineryanhyde It's amazing these exist, let alone can be photographed so clearly. Total awe on both levels.
@TessNam Until you actually take your own picture of one, they definitely don't seem like they could be real.
