Description

Inspired by @wsg, I dug into the RASC robotic telescope imaging data that I been given and tried processing this wide-field view of the Sadr region in Cygnus. I entered as much as I could about the setup in the equipment list, but I'm not 100% on the particular 200mm f/2.8 lens used here (I guessed). This DSLR rig is piggy-backed on the main RASC robotic telescope, an RCOS 16" f/8.9, on a Paramount ME mount.

The stars in this data were so numerous and even with a gentle stretch, obscured most of the nebula detail, so Starnet++ really came in handy. This was a challenge to process, but by the end I was glad to see some of the smaller star clusters discernible in the image.

True dark returns to this latitude in the next few days, so I'm crossing my fingers for some clear nights to go out and gather my own data
