Description

Using the Askar 400 with the 0.7x reducer allowed me to capture the Cygnus Loop without creating a mosaic. After watching a recent TAIC presentation on shorter sub frame times, I decided to give a try with 180 second subs compared to the 240 or 300  second subs I usually shoot. This object is brighter and definitley allowed me to try a new strategy.  More saturated than my usual image, I really tried to bring out the ice blue in the O3 signal. 

The Cygnus Loop Complex which compromise both Eastern and Western Veils along with several several other NGC designated areas are a Super Nova Remnant that is believed to have occurred 21,000 years ago. The complex is approximately 2,400 light years from Earth and measures an estimated 130 light years in diameter. (Wikipedia)
