Photo description / processing

Another "shot" at the Wild Duck Cluster (M11). Thanks to longer total exposure time, I was able to bring out not only the open cluster itself but also the dark nebulae against the backdrop of the star-studded constellation Scutum. Two sessions in the first half of September 2020. Taken from a balcony in Kharkiv, a red zone for light pollution.
