Gathered 3-sessions, including one set of 2-minute exposures and 75 5-minute exposures, and used "mosaic" registration in AstroPixel Processor. Finished in PixInsight, had some help from Topaz DeNoise.

Image Details:

In the Southern Cross (or Cygnus) where a star no longer glows
Its energy loans the colorful bones that filaments expose
Threads of red and strands of green entangle in their space
The expanding shell of the star that fell and is no longer in its place
The Witch's Broom as some presume is just part of a bigger tale
Of Cirrus clouds, Pickering's Triangle and the Eastern and Western Veil
In space it's stranded the filaments expanded and twisted around the core
That attracts our gaze as we trace the maze, both amazed and grateful yet more.
