Something more nebulous

With the clear spell continuing the next evening found me looking for a nebulous target to image. With the apo still set up I decided on a wide view of Sh2-101 (The Tulip Nebula) which glows from behind a dense dust cloud in Cygnus. Now a month after the solstice it is still past 11.30 pm before it is dark enough to obtain useable subs. Details: Megrez 88 apo. 15 x 10 minute exposures @ iso1600 with CLS in DSS, FIV, CS2 & XAT.
