Image Description and Details : The clamshell nebula in Cygnus Sh2-119 Is a large complex of emission nebulae in the constellation Cygnus. The bright star at the center is 68 Cygni, a 5th magnitude star responsible for ionizing the surrounding gas. Estimated tonbe 2200 light-years from Earth. This image is the result of 4 night during which I collected 24h of data Using ultranarrowband filter From bortle 9 backyard 96 x 300sec exposure for each filter Gain 121 tenp. -5°C 40 dark calibration files 20 flat calibration file per filter per session

Sh2-119
Last astrophotography done mid-July on 5 straight nights.
This is Sh2- 119 show nebula from the Sharpless catalog, located in the Swan constellation.
Little photographed object, dark and H-Alpha gas areas and especially Oiii can be captured with long poses.
Especially since the moon was well present, so I used my L-Extrem filter to capture the signal from these two gases.
I used a PixInsight script from Zloch Team Astro (again thanks for all you tutorials if by chance you see this message..) to create a layer of Sulfure gas and mix all three layers into SHO - which results Interesting.
The 10 min posing times will have allowed me to be even more picky on my stationing and self-guiding. At this time we don't really have the right to ' about ' anymore.
A huge thank you to Yann Sty for all his tips: settings + treatment.
