NGC 6819

An open star cluster also called the Foxhead cluster, though like most of these names, I don't see it. Quite a number of red giant stars hide in this cluster.

NGC 6819 lies 7,200 light years from us in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.

 

Boring techie bit:

Skywatcher Quattro 8" Newtonian Reflector steel tube with the f4 aplanatic coma corrector, Skywatcher EQ6 R pro mount, Altair Starwave 50mm guide scope, ZWO asi120mm guide camera mini, ZWO asi533mc pro cooled to -20c gain 101, Optolong L'enhance 2" filter, ZWO filter drawer, ZWO asiair plus.

60s exposures.

Best 80% of 120 light frames.

Darks, Flats & Bias.

Stacked with DeepSkyStacker and processed in StarTools & Affinity Photo.
