We just said goodbye to Cygnus OA-6 – a great spacecraft and thanks to everyone involved

Prop de la vora del riu, els cignes busquen menjar i netegen les seves plomes.
De la niuada només queden dues de les cinc cries.
Cerca de la orilla del río los cisnes buscan comida y limpian sus plumas.
Tan sólo quedan dos de las cinco crías.
A wide-angle image deforms the subject matter slightly but otherwise it is impossible to get all the colours of the Bahamas into a single shot. Once the Cygnus spacecraft leaves it won't photobomb the shots anymore.
Une photo au grand angle, ça déforme un peu, mais difficile de faire rentrer toutes les couleurs des Bahamas dans une seule fenêtre de la Cupola. Une fois le cargo Cygnus parti dans quelques semaines, il n’y aura plus de panneaux solaires pour photobomber mes prises.

this, by some way, is the best one of the lot (IMO). one of my all time faves and i only took it last saturday!
I shot this at f5.6 at 1/2000th sec at ISO400
I took this image back in July and the result was quite good, but 6 months of more experience definitely makes a difference. So here's the new version! Hope you like it ;)

Et voici l’amarrage, après un ballet complexe entre l’humain et la machine. Megan s’est occupée de piloter le Canadarm 2 et je l’ai secondée en surveillant les systèmes du Cygnus durant la phase d’approche.

And the docking. A complex choreography between human and machine. As Megan grappled Cygnus with Canadarm2, I acted as co-pilot – monitoring Cygnus's systems throughout its approach.

Il Cigno (in latino Cygnus) è una costellazione settentrionale. È una delle 48 costellazioni elencate da Tolomeo, ed è anche una delle 88 moderne costellazioni. A causa della disposizione delle sue stelle principali, è a volte chiamato la Croce del Nord (in contrasto con la Croce del Sud).
La forma dell'uccello si estende sulla Via Lattea estiva, volando verso sud

The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurosiberia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America, home to the largest populations outside of its native range, with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species..Mute swans lay from 4 to 10 eggs. The female broods for around 36 days, with cygnets normally hatching between the months of May and July. The young swans do not achieve the ability to fly before about 120 to 150 days old. This limits the distribution of the species at the northern edge of its range as the cygnets need to learn to fly before the ponds and lakes freeze over
This is a beautiful part of the sky - even an unmodified SLR with a common telephoto lens is enough to capture many interesting objects...
The reddish/pinking areas are nebulae or "clouds" of hydrogen molecules highly energized (ionized) by the surrounding stars.
I have a put a few notes on the image, but depending on the new flickr interface they don't always show up.
Notable objects in the frame are
the "north america nebula" and the "pelican nebula" on the left side below Deneb the bright blue star. On the right side, around the bright yellow star Sadr is the "gamma cygni nebula".
On the far right, is also visible the "crescent nebula", but probably only astrophotographers who know what to look for will be able to find it.
Captured with an unmodified Nikon D7000 + Sigma 105 mm f/2.8 stopped at f/3.5 on iOptron Skytracker.
30 x 2 m exposures.

I've photographed sections of the Cygnus Loop several times before but never had a telescope and camera that had a wide enough field to capture the loop in its entirety. The Dwarf III in mosaic mode finally gave me that capability.
I captured this image two ways to create three different iterations. First I took 200 subframes 15 seconds each using the Astro filter built into the Dwarf III. This is good for representing stars without bloat. It does not do a good job of revealing detail in nebulae. Next I took 200 subframes 30 seconds each using a Duo filter. This filter is good at revealing nebulae details, but tends to produce stars than are not terribly sharp.
I first tried combing the results of both filters, but I didn't particularly like the result. Neither did I like the result of the Astro filter. The Duo filter produced the most pleasing image to my eye, which is what is posted above.
3 panel mosaic at 85mm of the Cygnus region in the Milky Way. RGB image combined with UCH (wide dual band pass) filter to cut light pollution and bring out the nebulosity. Total exposure time for all frames combined approx 3 hours. Shot on h-alpha modified Sony A7IV
No words for this beauty in the sky...
