Description

Cirrus Loop (Cyg) widefield + galactic cirrus (aka IFN)

The continued sad, wet and overcast night skies persist preventing fresh DeepSky capturing sessions. I searched older material and found this Cirrus Loop from July 2020 when I had started AP only 6 months before. I could not produce a somewhat nice image at that time and it was still hard for me these days, having shot with an unmodified DSLR and only 2:00h integration time.

Peeling the faint nebula out of the zillion stars covering it, was my this time's challenge: It was invisible on every single light frame and only appeared as a hint in the histogram stretched stacking result.
