The Cygnus Loop @ 135mm
Here is the Cygnus Loop shot using the Rokinon 135mm F/2.0 lens.
Rokinon 135mm Lens Review: astrobackyard.com/rokinon-135mm-f2-astrophotography/
The image was processed to view the image as a whole. The veil nebula complex is clearly overexposed when when up-close, but I wanted a dramatic look at the entire structure from a glance.
Those stars have been minimized like crazy as well. I wanted to create as much separation between the nebula in the background sky as possible!
As you can tell, I chose to frame in NGC 6940 in there as well, a star cluster I have never shot before.
I'm loving the creative shots this lens provides:)
About 2 hours in RGB (2-minute exposures @ ISO 800 using the Optolong L-Pro filter)
Another 2 hours in H-Alpha (3-minute exposures @ ISO 1600 using the Astronomik 12nm Ha clip-in filter)
