Description

I am testing the capabilities of a new telescope which is known as a Hyperbolic Newtonian or Sharpstar 15028HNT which can capture images at F2.8 paired with the Player One Uranus-C Pro camera.  With this setup I can only get more zoomed in images and I wanted to image the Heart Nebula this year but I wanted to make it more interesting.  I looked closely at the images online and I spotted a swan!  So I image the nebula with the swan as my subject.  I framed the subject to include some cool looking dark nebula to get the image some added depth and make it look like the swan is flying out of the water.  This is a different take on a very often imaged object so I hope you enjoy!

Clear Skies!
Dave
