Sh2-112 & 115 + Filament Nebula
Here's an area East of Deneb shot in 3nm Ha. Included are Sh2-112/115. There are also some very interesting filament nebula on the Lower RHS of the frame, near the bright star. These extend all the way to the edge of the frame. The crop shows these in more detail (click to view the crop in detail).

Hemispheric Countersense.
Looking toward the poles, north and south, seems to be a hemispheric countersense in the rotation of the earth.

Stereoscopic images of our moon date back to the mid 1800's. Daguerre tried to image the moon in 1839; a long unguided exposure produced a fuzzy ball. Warren de la Rue produced beautiful full-moon images in 1858 and 1859 (to catch lunar libration) for a stereoscopic presentation. Henry Draper completed a series of full-moon stereoscopic images in 1863.
