Description

Ultra wide shot of Gamma Cygni with Sadr in the middle of the frame. Paired the 135mm lens and the Canon 5D Mkii full frame together for the shot.

I definitely see a dragon with its head and swooping ears faintly on the left with its flowing body moving across the constellation to the right moving up and down-- similar to a Chinese dragon parade float.

Could use some more time but happy with the result given that I was just using a light pollution filter and shooting from my Bortle 7 backyard.
