Description

Here comes my 2-year project of Heart of Cygnus the Great.

It's a 63 frames (7x9) mosaic taken with Epsilon 180, Ha only, 100% from my backyard.

Objects in this image:

Nebulae:

North America (NGC7000),

Pelican (IC 5070),

Gamma Cygni (IC1318),

Crescent (NGC6888),

Propeller (DWB111)

NGC6914

and lots of small but interesting nebulosity

(really) Bright Stars:

Deneb (Mag 1.3)

Sadr (Mag 2.2)

Clusters:

M29

NGC6910

Needless to say, this takes lots of exposure time, I counted over 80 hours. Those 3 great nebulae (IC1318, NGC7000, IC5070) took more integration time to show the details.
