cygnus
the constellation of Cygnus. I was planning to take 15 8minute exposures@ iso320 but it was blowing so hard I didn't even try. The image above is made up of 15 6sec exposures at ISO2000 using an ordinary tripod. I took 30 shots but could only use 15 due to the horrid seeing conditions. It still amazes me that you can do this without a drive. Back in the day of film cameras this shot would have been nearly impossible . Ah yes, gas hypered scotch brand film ISO1000....I don't miss it. Anyway, you can see the the North American nebula just above the bright star on the right, and a part of the Veil Nebula (the thumb nail looking thing)
