Description

Cygnus region in Ha narrowband. Taken at Jordan Lake, NC, July 9-10. Atik 460ex, Rokinon 24mm lens at f/4. Astrodon 5nm Ha filter. Orion Atlas Pro mount with Orion 50mm guide scope and Lodestar X2 camera. 36x5 minute exposures = 3 hours. Taken with SG Pro and PHD2. Processed with Pixinsight and Photoshop CC. Flats and bias frames used. Some clouds messed with frames, so I am working to get rid of those effects. Stars at the edges need work due to the lens effects.
