Description

Albireo is a double star at 415 lightyears away and the second brightest star in the constellation Cygnus.  Have been wanting to capture this one for a while given the largest star is bright yellow and the smaller one is blue - although difficult to bring out the blue given the strength of the overlapping rays.  Given a nice looking surrounding starfield, I have left uncropped.
