NGC 6914 & Propeller Nebula
Image Description and Details :
A cropped & rotated rendition of my 1st attempt of this area. I made more effort to control the stars to better show the nebulosity. NGC 6914 & Propeller Nebula are perhaps the better known targets within the image.The Sadr Region (also known as IC 1318 or the Gamma Cygni Nebula) is the diffuse emission nebula surrounding Sadr (γ Cygni) at the centre of Cygnus's cross. The Sadr Region is one of the surrounding nebulous regions; others include the Butterfly Nebula and the Crescent Nebula (not shown in this image). It contains many dark nebulae in addition to emission diffuse nebulae.Imaging telescope: Takahashi FSQ130EDImaging cameras: FLI ML16200Mounts: Takahashi EM 400 Temma 2Guiding cameras: QHY CCD QHY 5 IIFocal Extender / Reducer: Tak QE 0.73x Software: PHD 2, Astro Pixel Processer, PixInsight , Sequence Generator Pro SGPFilters: Astrodon SII, Ha & OIIIAccessories: ATIK EFW3Original Resolution: 4473 x 3578Dates: Jun 10 - Jun 21, 2021Frames:Astrodon Ha: 36 x 600"Astrodon SII: 30 x 600"Astrodon OIII: 30 x 600"Integration: 16 Hours.
