61 Cygni - Proper Motion

Aberkenfig, South Wales

Lat +51.542 Long -3.593

 

A sequence of images I have taken over a period of 5 years which display the proper motion of this well known double star.

 

Images captured using a Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian and a Modified Philips SPC 900NC Webcam on LX Mode.

 

Each image then processed using Deep Sky Stacker. Levels slightly adjusted with G.I.M.P.
