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 ;)

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.
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.

Adult and juvenile Tundra Swan. The adult has the familiar field mark of the yellow lore spot which is always lacking on a Trumpeter Swan although not always so obvious on a Tundra Swan.
The bill of this juvenile is white and pink from the base to the nail. A juvenile Trumpeter Swan has a thick black patch at the base of the bill and then pink forward.

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).

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.

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

This is my take on the Cygnus Wall. It is a portion of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) in the constellation Cygnus. The nebula is approximately 1,500 light years from Earth, and the Cygnus Wall spans about 20 light years. The Wall exhibits the most concentrated star formations in the nebula.

For whatever reason, the upper left hand corner of this shot made me think of a black hole and reminded me of the Rush song Cygnus X1...
In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The Black Hole
Of Cygnus X-1
Six Stars of the Northern Cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night...

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauerschwan
Der Trauerschwan (Cygnus atratus) oder Schwarzschwan ist eine monotypische Vogel-art aus der Gattung der Schwäne (Cygnus) und der Familie der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Er ist der einzige fast völlig schwarze Schwan und hat außerdem den längsten Hals aller Schwäne.
Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet des Trauerschwans ist Australien, in Neuseeland ist der Trauerschwan eingebürgert. In Europa kommen ausschließlich ausgesetzte und verwilderte Trauerschwäne vor. Eine selbsttragende Population, die im Jahr 2000 sechzig bis siebzig Brutpaare umfasste, gibt es wohl nur in den Niederlanden und möglicherweise auch in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Die Gesamtpopulation des Trauerschwans wird von der IUCN auf 100.000 bis eine Million geschlechtsreifer Individuen geschätzt. Die Art gilt als nicht gefährdet.
Several deep sky objects in this image: North America N., Veil N., Crescent N., Tulip N. and the Sadr region.
