The constellation of Cygnus with a myriad stars of the Milky Way. The bright star to the right edge of the field is Vega from the constellation of Lyra.
Cygnus atratus
Der Trauerschwan oder Schwarzschwan ist eine monotypische Vogelart aus der Gattung der Schwäne. Er ist der einzige fast völlig schwarze Schwan und hat außerdem den längsten Hals aller Schwäne. Das natürliche Verbreitungsgebiet des Trauerschwans ist Australien und Tasmanien. In Europa kommen ausschließlich ausgesetzte und verwilderte Trauerschwäne vor. (wikipedia)

The constellations Cygnus and Lyra, Vega, the North America Nebula, the Milky Way, and the tops of my neighbor's ponderosa pine trees.
The colors are a bit artificial, a result of the film type, the scanner, and the digital processing. But the final color of the nebula is pretty close to what others photographers get.
The stars were tracked with my hand-operated barn door tracker, hence the blur of the pines. I was using a hand tape recorder to note the exposure data, but alas nothing is on the tape. I'm guessing 1-2 minutes.

Many thanks to my friends Rick W. for the inspiration, and Mark T. for the gift of the film.

天鵝座廣角
這一次用 50mm 來拍拍廣角一點的天鵝座一帶。照片近中央有北美和塘鵝星雲；藍白色的光星是夏季大三角之一，也是天鵝座最亮的天津四，左上角也隱約看得到東西面紗星雲。這一帶的星星又密又多，對於 50mm 鏡頭好像有點太擠迫了…大家有興趣也可看看早前張貼過的 135mm 照片比較一下。

The Milky Way in the Cygnus constellation
Several large emission nebulae are clearly visible in this wide-field shot: the North American and Pelican with the star Deneb close by; the Sadr nebular complex in the center of the image; and, in the lower-right part of the image, the Veil nebula.

Mute Swan juvenile, called Polish Swan. Plumage of Polish morph is almost white since born, also its bill and legs are rufous. Compared to its siblings it gives illusion of being precocious which is not the case.

Cygnus cygnus. (en. Whooper swan, de. Singschwan, fi. Laulujoutsen, sv. Sångsvan). I shot this series of photos during sunset as we were moving by boat to see the sunset from nearby rocks. This swan moved unfortunately/fortunately in the wrong direction and ended up in front of our boat. So it had to do a little sprint. The swan was first in shadows and then moved to sunset light to give this series a nice variation in color tones. Lake Kukkia, Luopioinen, Finland. 1.9.2017

One from an experiment in the back garden with a light pollution filter fitted to a 35mm camera lens. This view of the Milky Way as it passes through the constellation of Cygnus just about captures some of the nebulae towards the lower left. There is a bit of interference from some cloud in the top left. The dark band is caused by dust in the galaxy blocking our view of more distant stars.
57s exposure at f/2.8 ISO 3200 on an tracking equatorial mount.
Testing my homemade barndoor. Milky Way was very faint. Modified Nikon D5100, ISO 800, Nikkor 50mm @ f/4, 5x 2 min exposures + 5 dark frames. Tracking was manual.

On my way to Isojoki to get a leveling drag for my tractor I noticed hundreds of Trumpeter swans on the fields at Luopajärvi, Jalasjärvi.

An Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen as it is rolled out to launch Pad-0A at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Sunday, January 5, 2014 in advance of a planned Wednesday, Jan. 8th, 1:32 p.m. EST launch, Wallops Island, VA. The Antares will launch a Cygnus spacecraft on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The Orbital-1 mission is Orbital Sciences' first contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Among the cargo aboard Cygnus set to launch to the space station are science experiments, crew provisions, spare parts and other hardware. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)

Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of part of the Cygnus Loop, a relatively close-by supernova remnant, taken in 2020.
"The Cygnus Mystery" states that human evolution was the result of incoming cosmic rays from a distant neutron star, demonstrating how we are part of a greater whole that is at one with the cosmos. A common belief shared by key ancient cultures, all of which were aware of the star system Cygnus’ unique location in the cosmos and it’s significance as the spirit path to heaven.
