My first attempt at a mosaic (where you create several images and stitch them together to get a larger field of view in one larger image). This is a mosaic of four 40 minute calibrated integrations of 2 minute exposures. Each image is about 12 degrees on a side creating a final image that reveals most of the constellation Cygnus, The Swan. Many well known deep sky objects are visible including the North American Nebula , The Pelican Nebula, the Veil Supernova Remnant, all the Nebulosity around Sadr including the Crescent Nebula and the Tulip Nebula, and several more objects...
The exposures were taken with a Nikkor 50mm Lens working at f/2.8, attached to a ZWO ASI533MC Pro Camera. An Optolong L-Ultimate narrowband filter was also used, which goes a long way to combat the Bortle 8 light pollution of Toronto. Everything was mounted on a ZWO AM5 and controlled by the ASI Air Plus. The exposures were guided. Images were processed in SIRIL and PixInsight
I'm really pleased with this as a first attempt, it certainly can be tweaked and processes further - when I have time...
The Cygnus Wall - part of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) which is within the Northern Constellation, Cygnus.
I shot this over the course of 3 nights, most surprisingly is the result as it was shot under a 98% and 100& lunar phase.

This picture was taken in summer 2015 using a Canon 600D (unmodified) with a 50 mm f/1.8 lens, mounted on a meade lxd75 equatorial mount.
12 pictures of 4 minutes exposure each were stacked using DeepSkyStacker freeware.
Total exposure time : 48 minutes
We can spot on this picture :
- the North America Nebula (NGC 7000)
- the Pelican Nebula
- the Butterfly Nebula
- the Veil Nebula
- the Coalsack Nebula (Borealis)

As I wind down photos from this recent trip to the refuges, I am extremely grateful to my friend Rick for loaning me the lens.

Part of the Cygnus Wall a very quick image session last night as we are approaching the the shortest night, can you see the face?
Cygnus in HaRGB
Got my RGB data today. Almost 4 hours of data - only used about 3h10m though since clouds ruined plenty of the shots. Plus the 2+hours of Ha data that I took the past couple of days.
Thanks to @astrobackyard for his tutorial on how to combine the Ha with the RGB image 👍
All taken with my EOS700Da and the Sigma 105mm on the iOptron Skyguider pro.

So this is my first ever "Deep Sky" shot, and it's of one of my favourite parts of the night sky. The Cygnus part of the Milky Way.
This photo consists of 18 exposures stacked and processed in LR/PS.
If you like this shot you can follow me here on Flickr and also on Facebook, or on Instagram, thanks!
Last shot from the dark skies of Exmoor, a view of the Cygnus and Lyra constellations. Using a camera with the IR filter removed improves the sensitivity to the red glow of ionised Hydrogen gas clouds. The most obvious is the North America nebula, middle left, just below the bright star Deneb.
7x 1 minute exposures on a star tracking mount.

"Ramblings"
As mentioned before the mute swan is my favourite wetland bird to watch and photograph.
Slapton Ley has been a great place to observe swan behaviour with a good showing all around the lake, and never a better time than the mating season with plenty of action amongst the males.
Spring 2020 I got my swan fix down along my local patch Bow Creek, but this year seems to have been a little quite on the swan front.
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.

As a human, James always looked up to Riyan. He wanted to do all the things that his older brother could do, procure magic out of nothing, move or destroy things without touching it at all. He always wanted to be cured of his sickness so he could travel the world with Riyan, he knew he was the reason why his brother never really strayed far from home. But one night, Riyan came to James' room and said he was venturing out to look for a cure. He pleaded with his brother not to go, but Sebastian went regardless and did not return for years.
James grew more and more sickly and eventually was submitted into Arcadia's best hospital where he met her, Bambi, a face he'll never forget.
[Might be confusing to a few, but James was Journey's human life before he passed away and was reborn as an angel who protects the goddess Nem!]
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.
