Description

Sadr Region (Cyg) - wide field

One clear night after long cloudy months, but with only a short useful time frame with sufficient darkness between 00:00h and 02:00h (67% full moon rising. With my 11 years old unmodified Canon EOS 7D (1st version) and the useful Samyang F=85mm f/1.4 Mk 2 (stopped down to f/2.0) I had no clue what to expect as an outcome.

It was the "first light" for this Samyang lens and I also used a CLS clip-in filter to enhance the contrast of my unmodified DSLR. With my SkyWatcher Star Adventurer I took 60 images at 120s each (2 hours). Stacked with Siril on Linux and post processed with StarTools, final touch with Darktable.
