Summary[edit]

Description

The region of space at the intersection of Cygnus and Vulpecula. Lots of interstellar dust and deep sky objects can be seen, including the Gamma Cygni Nebula (top left), the Veil Nebula (Bottom left) and the Dumbbell nebula (far right). 26x30" exposures imaged under an 80% illuminated waning gibbous Moon. Image processed (to the best of my ability) for natural color: The Sadr region is pink due to Hydrogen Alpha and Hydrogen Beta emissions, interstellar dust is orange-brown from scattering and planetary nebulae like the Dumbbell are blue-green from emission of Doubly Ionized Oxygen. The Veil Nebula would show as purple and blue from a mix of H-alpha, H-beta & OIII emissions but unfortunately not enough color signal was gathered for it.

Gear Used: Canon 350D unmodded Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM NyxTech NyxTracker V2

Aquisition: 26x30" lights 13 minutes total integration f/3.2 ISO-1600 Bortle Class 4 skies + 80% Moon

Software Used: Adobe Camera Raw Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 PixInsight 1.8 Deep Sky Stacker
