Cygnus Loop, Death & Life
A massive star explosion that happened thousands of years ago in the constellation of Cygnus as I photographed it using narrowband filters (Hydrogen-a + OIII) and a small 60mm reduced refractor. This is the reedited 2021 version. I hope I will add RGB data soon.
Camera: ZWO ASI 1600MM-PRO USB 3.0 Mono (Type CMOS)
Sensor Cooling Temperature: -15C
Filters: 1.25" 5nm Astrodon Hydrogen-alpha (Ha), 1.25" 3nm Astrodon Oxygen III (OIII)
Imaging Telescope: Takahashi FS-60CB
Correcting Lens: Takahashi Reducer 0.72x (composite focal length at 264mm and focal ratio at f/4.9)
Mount: iOptron CEM25EC
Software: SharpCap Pro, PixInsight, Lightroom, Photoshop
