Jalasjärven lintutorni on hyvällä paikalla pengertien päässä. Ruohoista vesialuetta on kaikkiin suuntiin tornista. Torni on katettu, joten linnut eivät aina huomaa tornissa väijyvää kuvaajaa, jos tämä vain pysyy varjossa ja elämöimättä. Vietin siellä mieleenpainuvan aamuhetken. Kun tummat sadepilvet saapuivat etelästä, pärsistelin takaisin Seinäjoelle kotiini.

Vega and Cygnus are seen beautifully here, along with the Milky Way.
Vega is the brighter light right above the Milky Way. Vega is of the most famous stars in the entire sky. Vega is the luminary of the exquisite constellation Lyra, deriving from Arabic, meaning "the swooping eagle." Vega is one of three brilliant stars that divide the northern heavens into rough thirds. The fifth brightest star, it's also one of the closest - 25 light years away.
Cygnus is the other "brighter" light in the picture to the left near the tip of the Milky Way. In its cruciform shape, the Greeks visualized Cygnus "The Swan". Ancient astronomers tell us that the swan is Zeus in disguise, on his way to one of his innumerable love affairs.
And you thought it was just "the sky".
Cygnus
Was a bit late for me to set up all my gear and the Moon is still pretty bright, so I just set up my iOptron Skyguider with my 700Da and a Ha filter. Very short imaging session with the Sigma 105mm macro lens, only 40 mins (clouds!) of 120s lights and 15 darkframes. ISO was set to 1600, f2.8. The Cygnus area is quite amazing when it comes to Hydrogen emission nebulae... #northamericanebula #pelicannebula #butterflynebula ... all there. And plenty of other smaller/fainter objects.

The Cygnus Wall is a prominent feature within the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is an area of intense star formation and rich interstellar activity. Located about 1,500 light years from Earth.

Taken at Attenborough NR, Attenborough, Nottinghamshire.
We started off at Warren Hills In Leicestershire which is quite close to the highest point in the county. It was so cold and windy with hail/snow showers we decided to relocate to Attenborough as we saw not a single bird.
Since arriving and joining the resident mute flock it has become very habituated allowing very close views, I spent most of my time going backwords to fit the whole bird in!

SH2-103 - In the Constellations of Cygnus. The Cygnus Loop (also known as Sh2-103 or the radio source W78) is a large supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cygnus, an emission nebula measuring nearly 3° across. Some arcs of the loop, known collectively as the Veil Nebula or Cirrus Nebula, emit visible light. The visual portion of the Cygnus Loop is known as the Veil Nebula, also called the Cirrus Nebula or the Filamentary Nebula.

I like the drama that monochrome can create in some shots. In colour, this swan looked peaceful and docile. In mono, it looks like he is plotting to take over the world.
This is a quick 3 panel mosaic with the 50mm lens. Each panel is a single 5 minute exposure. I shot this intending it to be part of a much larger mosaic, and it still might be as i did take quite a few more panels heading towards Cepheus and Cassiopeia but i am having a lot of trouble getting them all to blend together so i will start with small chunks of sky first.
The most noticeable object here is the North American Nebula, you'll never guess why its called that! Theres a whole bunch of other nebulosity in this area of sky that is more prominent in deep exposures such as the Butterfly nebula around centre and the Veil complex barely visible here to the left. There is also a very bright star seen in the bottom right which is Vega. If you have even seen or read Contact by Carl Sagan, Vega is the star they receive the message from. At only 25 light years away its pretty close and the 5th brightest star in our night sky.

Crop of the Cygnus wall
The North America Nebula covers a region more than ten times the area of the full moon, but its surface brightness is low, so normally it cannot be seen with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes with large fields of view (approximately 3°) will show it as a foggy patch of light under sufficiently dark skies. However, using a UHC filter, which filters out some unwanted wavelengths of light, it can be seen without magnification under dark skies. Its shape and reddish color (from the hydrogen Hα emission line) show up only in photographs of the area.
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation.
At optical wavelengths, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) appear distinct as they are separated by the silhouette of the dark band of interstellar dust L935. The dark cloud is however transparent to radio waves and infrared radiation, and these wavelengths reveal the central regions of Sh2-117 that are not visible to an ordinary telescope, including many highly luminous stars.
The distances to the North America and Pelican nebulae were controversial, because there are few precise methods for determining how far away an HII region lies. Until 2020, most astronomers accepted a value of 2,000 light years, though estimates ranged from 1,500 to 3,000 light years.
