This is NGC 6992/6995, the Eastern Veil Nebula, a part of the Veil Nebula supernova remnant in Cygnus.

Nikon D810A DSLR camera, StellarVue 152 astrograph refractor, Astro-Physics Mach2 mount. I was also using a guide scope and PHD2 guiding software.

This is actually a stack of 3 1/2 hours of 300-second images, which makes it hard to choose "Time of photo." I removed the stars with Star Xterminator so I could process the nebulosity on its own. I tightened and deemphasized the stars a bit, then added them back in. Image programs used were Photoshop and PixInsight.
