Description

LBN251 in Cygnus, resembling a longhorn bull, not a very common target and my first time imaging this region of the sky.

The background wisps are relatively dim compared to the bright foreground. The dynamic range of the QHY600 in highgain mode was enough to capture both using 600s subs at -10 degC. 
The overall integration times had to be quite long to get a clean background SNR.

The reducer was used to enlarge the FOV allowing the main portions of the target to be framed by the 43mm sensor.
