Description

Just after taking some images of The Plough I decided to point my camera straight up to get some images of the Milky Way and it was Cygnus that was directly overhead.

Although it wasn't as dark as Elan Valley, a single image still showed lots of detail, but after stacking the amount of processing I could do was limited due to the clouds which were in nearly every image so I mainly just did some curves and saturation adjustments.

I was planning to add the trees in afterwards but it was too windy to get a single image of them in detail, so I ended up just leaving them how they were after stacking.

My D5300a has lots of tilt so I decided to use my standard D5600 from now on for wide shots, and I'm impressed with the amount of Ha that it can pick up in such a short time.

Shot at f/2.8.
