Sadr region in Cygnus
Fujifilm X-T10, Samyang 135mm f/2.0 @ f2.0, ISO 1600, 40 x 60 sec, tracking with iOptron SkyTracker Pro, stacking with DeepSkyStacker, editing in GIMP, taken July 31 under Bortle 3/4 skies. Conditions seemed about perfect, Sadr was nearly directly overhead, and my focus was dead-on, making processing simple.
Notable nebulae contained in this extent are the Gamma Cygni Nebula around Sadr and the Crescent Nebula near the center.
Taken on my third consecutive night of astrophotography - I'm not going out tonight despite the likely clear skies - I need a break.
Aug. 2 update: A re-edit, this time without a luminance layer - makes the reds less pink.
