The main purpose of this project was to evaluate the possibilities of new scope. One of the best ways is to compare the results on something familiar and also imaged with many different scopes. NGC7000 is good candidate, however it is too wide for the field of view... So the project became quite big in many ways :)
This is 3 panels mosaic that I hope gives a bit unusual point of view to a very popular summer object - The Cygnus Wall. Open the full resolution for a long walk :)
Usually I'm pretty pedantic in describing the acquisition details however the project is too big for the AstroBin interface :( 189 exposures in 10 nights, using 3 filters ...
Here is free formatted data:
Panel 1: HII - 27x10min, OIII 24x10min, SII 12x10min
Panel 2: HII - 27x10min, OIII 24x10min, SII 12x10min
Panel 3: HII - 27x10min, OIII 23x10min, SII 13x10min
Imaged in nights- July 08, 09, 10, 11, 21, 22; August 14, 21, 22, 23

I'm very happy with the result and with the scope :)
