Description

I have recently added a number of images to astrobin that I have taken over the last year or so. This one is probably my favorite, I took this image over 3 nights in August of 2021 and somehow forgot to process it.

This is fairly wide area in the region of Cygnus, to get a sense of perspective this image encompasses an area around 8.3 by 5.6 degrees. The diameter of the full moon roughly 0.5 degrees so this area could contain about 185 full moons! Next time you go out at night and look at Cygnus think about that area and this image. To me it is amazing all of the detail up there that is so faint our eyes cannot see it.
