Always an interesting and beautiful target, the Cygnus Wall is part of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) in the constellation Cygnus.
Whooper Swan incubating in nest which is built in wood on dry land of a smallish island, instead it could have chosen from many alternatives in much more typical landscapes like swamp or reedbed aroud here. It started this modus operandi in 2014. This couple has been our summerneighbourgs for several years and we have enjoyed observing the birds nursing their chicks.

The waterfowl are returning here. I try to capture as many flying pairs as I can during the spring and fall seasons. This is the first time I have captured flying Trumpeter Swans.

I found this beauty busily preening and cleaning itself on a narrow piece of a water under trees nicely lit.
This photo showcases the difference an Astro-Modified camera can accomplish with capturing Ha (red nebulosity) regions that are quite prevalent throughout the night sky. This shot of the Cygnus (Northern Cross) area of the Milky Way is perfect for wide angle or mid-focal length lenses if you have a tracker.
I stacked 11 images in Deep Sky Stacker (no flats, bias or dark frames), and processed with Photoshop and Lightroom.

A single exposure of the Cygnus region. Taken with a Baader modded Canon T3 1100D with an f/1.4 50mm lens at f/4 and a CLS-CCD light pollution filter. 2.5 minutes at ISO 1600 with no calibration frames. The image was taken on a friends Polarie Sky Tracker.
Here is my take on the Gamma Cygni nebula consisting of various patches of nebulosity surrounding the star Gamma Cygni, at the centre of the Northern Cross in the constellation Cygnus. This is my first image using the new ASI2600MC camera coupled to the RASA 8. My new backyard is a bottle 6 but with a good light pollution filter broadband is still reasonably achievable.
Image acquired in my backyard in Chilliwack.

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.

The Cygnus Wall, a prominent region of star formation, is an integral component of the much larger North America Nebula (NGC 7000). Primarily composed of hydrogen and sulfur, it exhibits orange-red hues processed with an HOO palette, while oxygen is depicted in blue. Stretching approximately 20 light-years in length, it spans a distance of about 1.3 million times greater than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Gazing upon the night sky and contemplating its wonders fills me with humility and awe, prompting me to reflect on our great Creator and strive to follow Him more diligently.

I took this shot from my kayak. Normally Whooper Swans can be seen in the Finnish lake area, however, occationally during migratiion periods some individuals can be seen in the Archipelago in the Baltic Sea.

Orbital Science's Cygnus Orbital-2 spacecraft approaching the International Space Station.
ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was in control of the vehicle and communications while colleague NASA astronaut Steve Swanson operated the Station's robotic arm on the left.
The spacecraft was berthed on 16 July 2014.

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!
The Expedition 37 crew captured Cygnus with the Canadarm2 at 7 a.m. EDT Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013, and attached it to the Harmony node at 8:44 a.m.

Experimenting with sidefield astro. This was taken with a Nikon D750 and Nikkor 50mm lens. 30x3 minute exposures.
This is the rich nebulosity in Cygnus captured in the narrow red light of hydrogen-alpha emission and rendered as a monochrome image.
At lower left is the North America Nebula region, NGC 7000, and at upper right is the complex around Gamma Cygni, called IC 1318. At far right is the Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888. The bright star Deneb is left of centre, though dimmed somewhat as this is a blue star and so appears less prominent in red light.
This is with the Canon 135mm L-series telephoto lens wide open at f/2 and with the red sensitive Canon EOS Ra camera, for a stack of 11 x 4-minute tracked but unguided exposures at ISO 3200, so fairly long and at a high ISO despite the fast aperture, due to the dense filter. The filter is the 12nm clip-in Astronomik H-Alpha. Processing was in part using luminosity masks created by Lumenzia extension panel in Photoshop.
This was on June 9-10, 2020 with the sky lit by moonlight from the low waning gibbous Moon and by perpertual twilight, though the Milky Way was visible.
Aujourd’hui c’est un grand jour à bord de l’ISS : un peu comme un matin de Noël, on est tous très excités par l’arrivée du cargo NG-16. Il a fallu bien plus qu’un traineau pour nous apporter le Cygnus le plus lourd jamais envoyé vers l’ISS ! Lancé par une fusée Antarès, il transporte plus de 3 700 kg de ravitaillement et d’expériences scientifiques. Il nous poursuit depuis 2 jours, durant lesquels on s’est occupé de préparer sa capture et son arrivée. Megan et moi l’avons attrapé à l’aide d’un bras robotique de 17 m de long, piloté depuis une station avec vue panoramique sur la Terre… parfois mêmes les films de science-fiction n’ont pas un scénario aussi ambitieux ! On est toujours tellement concentrés que parfois j’ai besoin de faire un pas en arrière pour me rappeler à quel point ce qu’on fait ici sort de l’ordinaire, et combien d’efforts et de gens talentueux ça mobilise 👏

Today was a great day on the International Space Station: just like Christmas, we are excited to open our latest delivery 🎅 It took more than Santa’s reindeer to get the heaviest ever Cygnus cargo ship up here though. Launched atop atop a two-stage Antares rocket, and carrying more than 3,700 kg of cargo, this spacecraft spent two days chasing down our orbital outpost before Megan and I brought it in using a 17-m robotic arm piloted from a panoramic window overlooking Earth. Even science fiction film scenarios are not that bold sometimes!!! I often have to take a step back to realise just how unbelievable what we do up here is, and how much effort and talent so many brilliant colleagues put in for days like today to happen 👏
