The jewels of Cygnus
Date image was taken: June 08, 2023
Image Description and Details : As my main setup is now in the Atlaskies observatory in Morocco, I'm thinking about a small nomadic setup that's very easy to set up. Nicolas lent me his Star Adventurer GTI, his AsiAir and these Baader H and O filters so that I could install my 2600MC and Sigma Art 135mm. Many thanks to you :).
So here's a two-tile mosaic of this magnificent area of the Cygnus constellation, with only 2 hours of exposure per tile.

As usual, you can browse the full version by clicking on the Astrobin image.
The immense hydrogen-red nebulosity are a bit like a jewel box showcasing numerous gems such as the supernova remnent W63, emission nebulae (like the Crescent Nebula NGC 6888, the Tulip Nebula SH2-101 for the best known) and the star Wolf Rayet 134.
I'm really delighted with this ultra-efficient and quick setup. It's great to be able to indulge in a quick image.
By opening the sigma at F2, I can quickly get a lot of signal, and all I have to do is shoot the stars apart at F8 to get great sharpness and these beautiful diffraction on big stars.
And what a pleasure to be able to hit the road again and spend nights under the stars with friends :)
