Description

I have the "happy problem" of a very large backlog of images to process. I shot Cygnus (and Lyre) at Onondaga State Park in Leasburg, MO during a camping trip back in June. My wife and I had fun just watching the stars - and hundreds of thousands of fireflies - go by. I could actually see firefly traces on many of the subs - those were removed by Pixinsight in the integration process.

What a difference dark skies make! This image was so much easier to process. It's noteworthy that I used the unmodded T4i with only a basic UV-IR blocking filter. My modded T2i should have been able to grab even more signal. There was very little noise in the image and just for comparison, I posted a version of the image without any noise reduction.

Thanks for looking!
