For this work, we used the red plates of POSS II fields 340 and 115 which show the impressive wide-field areas around the IC 1795/1805 complex (Plate 1) and Gamma Cygni (Plate 2). The applied photographic method aims at the simultaneous enhancing of very faint features and compression of the dynamic range, so that all features become visible on the same print.
