Description

Another attempt at a monochrome wide field of nebulosity in Cygnus around Deneb and Sadr. This is the H-alpha channel from the previous HOO colour image and does a better job of showing the fine detail and structure. There's even enough resolution to pick out the jet of material emanating from Herbig Haro object HH555 in the neck of the Pelican Nebula.

I love this style of astrophotography that harks back to images taken on hypered Tech Pan and actually prefer it to colour images much of the time. Shot at f2.0 with a Samyang 85mm f1.8, with a total of 53 exposures of 90 seconds each.
