He looks so shy in this position.
ps: photo blured, so I didnt post it, then someone here told me about Topaz AI Sharpen, and it worked great (other tools failed to recover the blur of the photo).

I look at her and know... we are getting a little bored are we. :)
She sure is my little Miss Sunshine to me.

📜 Astonishingly the mistle trush was not found in Ireland before 1800, when the first one was shot in County Antrim.
The same photo as I uploaded on September 24, 2021 in RGB "true" colour mode. According to Photoshop measurement of my RGB subframes, the vast majority of H+ colour have RGB coordinates is approx 140/0/10. In this way I have processed this image.

WR-134 est une étoile variable de type Wolf-Rayet située à 6000 AL de la terre dans la constellation du Cygne. Elle est entourée d'une faible bulle bleutée.
WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun.

NGC 6888 - Crescent Nebula (and open cluster IC 4996).
The Crescent Nebular was formed when the stellar wind of Wolf–Rayet star WR 136 collided with material the star ejected during its super red giant phase. Wolf–Rayet stars are a rare set of stars with strong stellar winds and surface temperatures as high as 200,000 K. This faint emission nebula is located along the plane of the Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus.
With an apparent diameter of 1/3 of a degree - a little smaller than the moon - and a distance of 5k light-years, this nebular is approximately 25 light-years in diameter. At abut 15x the mass of our sun, and 4.7 Myrs old, WR 136 is nearing the end its life - which will end in a bang, as a supernova.

This picture required a longer post-processing time due to the limited time integration used.
Tipically, I use over 60 hours of integration, but in this case, the integration time was only about 22 hours (even taken at f3.3).
I am planning to take more frames on narrow band this year to capture additional details.
Nevertheless, this image represents the first version captured during the previous summer.
I hope you like it.

Supergiant star Gamma Cygni lies at the center of the Northern Cross, famous asterism in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. Known by the proper name Sadr, the bright star also lies at the center of this skyscape, featuring a complex of stars, dust clouds, and glowing nebulae along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy. The field of view spans over 5 degrees (eight Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Above of Gamma Cyg and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318's popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. Right of Gamma Cyg, are the young, still tightly grouped stars of NGC 6910. Some distance estimates for Gamma Cyg place it at around 1,800 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6910 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years. [Text adapted from APOD]

Sometimes you decide to make an image of a region of the sky and it just comes out exactly as you had hoped for. This was one of these moments for me. I decided a while back to image the Gamma Cygni Nebula around the star Sadr in the constellation of Cygnus. I knew this was a very interesting region in the sky and I started with gathering H-alpha data for a monochrome 3-panel mosaic as weather in the Netherlands doesn't permit extended imaging projects most of the time. But somehow we had a very good weather period and I was able to image this region during 6 nights in a 9 day period which is quite unique.
When I noticed the weather forecasts I decided that I wanted to go for a color version of the image in a narrowband Hubble palette. So I just imaged one object during these six nights, but I'm so happy I did that :) The combination came out very nicely and really showed me the details that I wanted to get out of the image.
With an apparent visual magnitude of +2.23, Sadr (Gamma Cyg) is among the brighter stars visible in the night sky. Parallax measurements give a distance estimate of 1,800 light years (560 parsecs), with a 15% margin of error. The stellar classification of this star is F8 Iab, indicating that it has reached the supergiant stage of its stellar evolution. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified.
Compared to the Sun this is an enormous star, with 12 times the Sun's mass and about 150 times the Sun's radius. It is emitting over 33,000 times as much energy as the Sun, at an effective temperature of 6,100 K in its outer envelope. This temperature is what gives the star the characteristic yellow-white hue of an F-type star. Massive stars such as this consume their nuclear fuel much more rapidly than the Sun, so the estimated age of this star is only about 12 million years old.
The spectrum of this star shows some unusual dynamic features, including variations in radial velocity of up to 2 km/s, occurring on a time scale of 100 days or more. Indeed, on the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, Gamma Cygni lies close to the instability strip and its spectrum is markedly like that of a Cepheid variable. This star is surrounded by a diffuse nebula called IC1318, or the Gamma Cygni region. [source: wikipedia]
The field of view spans over 3 degrees (six Full Moons) on the sky and includes emission nebula IC 1318 and open star cluster NGC 6910. Right of Gamma Cyg and shaped like two glowing cosmic wings divided by a long dark dust lane, IC 1318's popular name is understandably the Butterfly Nebula. Below and right of Gamma Cyg, are the young, still tightly grouped stars of NGC 6910. Some distance estimates for Gamma Cyg place it at around 1,800 light-years while estimates for IC 1318 and NGC 6910 range from 2,000 to 5,000 light-years. [source: APOD]
