Description

Today I am publishing my first proof of a very wide field shot, made with a photographic lens.

This is the Cygnus nebula complex: at the top right you can see the famous and bright North America nebula, with its companion Pelican nebula and the star Deneb. In the lower left we find the nebular region around Sadr, with the famous Crescent nebulae (very small towards the bottom of the frame) and IC1318.

Unfortunately the high humidity forced me to discard about 20 shots and left the artifact in the lower left corner.

To make this photo I used the Optolong l-eNhance dual band filter to reduce the impact of light pollution and the Moon by 70%.

It is about 3 hours of exposure:

50x180s

Pentax 50mm f2 @ f4

QHY183C Pro at -25 ° C, gain 15
