Description

This is my first attempt at shooting f/7 in over a year.  I broke down the scope and remeasured everything to try to improve field curvature, which I was able to get down to 21% (far better than last year's 60%!).  Amazing how math helps and stuff.

Here is the Cygnus Star Cloud aka Tulip Nebula.  I let my daughter play with the saturation and hue curves, so this is her first contribution to astrophotography!  Hope you enjoy.
