Description

Here’s a wide field view containing some very well known objects in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan), the North America Nebula, the Pelican Nebula and the star Deneb, one of the brightest stars in the night sky and the head of the popular asterism known as the Northern Cross.⁣

We are star dust⁣.⁣

This image was created with data captured across 4 nights in October using a 135mm f2 camera lens and a cooled, monochrome camera with both narrowband and broadband filters.⁣

This was a very difficult image to process, the star density in this region can overwhelm everything if you’re not careful! I mapped the colour palette to try and make something truly unique! I blended in RGB stars for good measure. I hope you like it!⁣
