Deneb & Sadr
Here is a region of the Milky Way in the constellation of Cygnus centered between the two stars Deneb (top blue star) and Sadr (bottom yellow/white star). This image was the backup plan when attempting to shoot a galaxy with my telescope, so when my mount had some problems, I went for it with the gear I had on hand. Despite only being able to shoot 60s subs which required the use of ISO 800, this region of the Milky Way is so bright and packed with stars that getting a sufficient signal to noise ratio was not a problem. I'm extremely pleased with how much red hydrogen gas I was able to resolve despite having a stock DSLR camera! I hope you guys are having a great start to 2021 and have lots of clear skies! As always, if you want a print, feel free to DM me on Instagram @jdh_astro :)
