The rich star field at the heart of the Cygnus constellation. Featuring the bright star Deneb, with the stunning North America Nebula close by (NGC 7000) + many more deep sky wonders. The dark dusty area is known as the Northern Coalsack.

The Cygnus constellation and the Cygnus Rift, my first tracked shot.

Night was awfully windy so most of the shots were slightly blurred, expecially for exposures over 2 minutes...I need to buy a sturdier tripod :D

Single shot with Canon 700d and Sigma 17-50mm at 17mm, 2 minutes, f3.5, ISO1600.

Emission nebulas in northern and central Cygnus, including the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) at lower left and the Gamma Cygni complex (IC 1318) at upper right. Deneb is the bright star at left, while Gamma Cygni itself is at upper right.

However, the image works well turned 90° to portrait with Deneb at top.

This is a stack of 8 x 2-minute exposures with the 200mm lens at f/2.8, and filter-modified Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, taken from home on May 30, 2017 as part of testing the Star Adventurer Mini tracker. All exposures tracked but not guided.

I've had many pets throughout the years but when Pete died a few years ago I wasn't ready to find a new companion and instead I find friends everywhere. This Mute Swan came over to me when I stepped close to the edge of the wharf.

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 👏

Cygnus dê Lacus.

These CYGNUS Corp. fast vehicles are used on all kind of lands, being able to pass almost every thing. The arctic version of the MACHETTE shown here is equipped with a sonic boomer, perfect to create avalanches, and a frost cannon turning surrounding humidity into high speed ice bullets.

This is my 50th CYGNUS Corp. vehicle. I achieved a personal goal doing 50 different vehicles based on the same cockpit box (thanks to Peter Morris). I'm not going to stop making new ones but I feel like I can try something else now, maybe microspace. ^^.

Die Schwäne (Cygnus) sind eine Gattung der Entenvögel (Anatidae). Schwäne sind die größten aller Entenvögel.

The Cygnus Loop is a large supernova remnant measuring approximately 6 moons across in diameter. It’s age is relatively young on a cosmic scale of only 21,000 years. Photographed from my backyard.✨

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.
