Der Schwan (lateinisch Cygnus) ist ein Sternbild am Nordsternhimmel.
Der Schwan gehört mit Adler und Leier zu den markantesten Sommersternbildern, ist aber wegen seiner nördlichen Position auch noch im Herbst und an frühen Winterabenden zu sehen. Seine zwei hellen Sternreihen bilden ein markantes Kreuz am Himmel, weshalb er auch als Kreuz des Nordens oder Nördliches Kreuz (Gegenstück zum Kreuz des Südens) bezeichnet wird.

I took the opportunity to photograph all the Pullman carriages in the VSOE/Belmond Orient Express UK set.
Cygnus and Perseus ran in the post war Golden Arrow set which was completed in 1951. These cars can be distinguished from pre-war Pullmans by the shallower passenger windows which lead to a visible cream border top and bottom of each window. They were also built with rectangular toilet windows, but VSOE rebuilt them with oval windows to match with their pre-war cars.
They were both originally ordered in 1938 by the LNER. Construction had not commenced before the war halted work on them, leaving them to be finished after the war.
Bewick´s Swan, aren´t they lovely!

Cygnus was developed under a NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Space Act Agreement and will perform resupply flights to the International Space Station under the Commercial Resupply Service (CRS) contract. From 2013 through 2016, a total 20,000 kg of cargo will be ferried to the space station over eight missions.

ISS037-E-018543 (22 Oct. 2013) --- The International Space Station's Canadarm2 prepares to release the Orbital Sciences' Cygnus commercial craft after three weeks at the space station. European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano and NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, both Expedition 37 flight engineers, were at the controls of the robotics workstation removing Cygnus from the Harmony node then safely releasing it at 7:31 a.m. (EDT) Oct. 22, 2013. On Oct. 23, the Cygnus will fire its engines for the last time at 1:41 p.m. and re-enter Earth's atmosphere for destruction over the Pacific Ocean.
The Cygnus is the flagship of Valuan 1st Admiral Alfonso, and much like Alfonso is more concerned with looking good than being any use in a fight.
The plan was the other flagships would flow quite quickly once the Auriga was done since most are based on the same body, but if this has taught me anything it's that those similarities don't go terribly far when it comes to a build! Or rather, even with a solid core to start with, getting the details right is no small job.
Ideally the weird blade things projecting from the deck would be far thinner. The arrays above the bridge should be on a single mast, but I couldn't find a way of doing it which wasn't far too thick and ungainly. The bow was a pain in the neck too and involved a lot of compromise - so many better looking techniques just weren't structurally viable.
Still, on the whole I'm happy with the result and I'll move on to the next one before I try to perfect this!
Second image of the same night 2016, Cygnus region (Schwan) with Deneb, NGC7000, IC5070.

I like this result very much, its impressive, what you can reach with "only" 200mm (my 70-200!) in the Night Sky.
Also known as the 'Flying Dragon Nebula'. This faint nebula was especially challenging for me this night due to some clouds (basically 'sucker hole imaging') and wind. The sky became mostly cloudy around 3AM, so I stowed my gear. It started raining lightly around 5AM, and snowed later in the morning. Sh 2-113 is the bright knot at bottom center.

Cygnus is a familiar summer constellation. Situated along the plane of our Milky Way galaxy, it is home to many emission nebula, dark nebula and supernova remnants. To the lower left are the North American and Pelican Nebulae. The lower right shows the supernova remnant known as the Veil Nebula. The bimodal nebula at the middle left is the Butterfly Nebula. Smaller nebulae such as the Crescent and Tulip Nebulae are also visible in this image. Link to older version here and link to H-alpha only version here

Technical details:
Polar alignment wasn't great, so some amount of field rotation is visible. Overall though, I'm pleased with the result.

學名: Cygnus columbianus
英名: Tundra Swan
Family : Anatidae (鴨科). Length: 115-150 cm.
天鵝是一種冬候鳥，喜歡群棲在湖泊和沼澤地帶，主要以水生植物為食。每年三四月間，它們大群地從南方飛向北方，在我國北部邊疆省份產卵繁殖。雌天鵝都是在每年的五月間產下二三枚卵，然後雌鵝孵卵，雄鵝守衛在身旁，一刻也不離開。一過十月份，它們就會結隊南遷。在南方氣候較溫暖的地方越冬，養息。天鵝雌雄兩性相似。它們能從氣管發出不同的聲音。除繁殖期外，天鵝成群地生活。雌雄結成終生配偶。求偶行為包括以喙相碰或以頭相靠。由雌天鵝孵卵，雄天鵝在附近警戒；有的種類雄性亦替換孵卵。幼雛頸短，絨毛稠密；出殼幾小時後即能跑和游泳，但雙親仍精心照料數月；有的種類的幼雛可伏在父母親的背上。未成年天鵝的羽毛為灰色或褐色，有雜紋，直至滿兩歲以上。第三年或第四年才達性成熟。自然界中，天鵝能活20年，人工豢養可活50年以上。因為天鵝身體很重，所以起飛時它們要在水面或地面向前衝跑一段距離。
全身が白色である。頭から首は黄褐色に染まっているものも多くいる。嘴の先は黒く基部は黄色で、黄色部の先端の形は丸い。亜種アメリカコハクチョウとは黄色部分の大きさで区別するが、微妙な個体も存在する。
C. columbianus is the smallest of the Holarctic swans, at 115–150 cm (45–59 in) in length, 168–211 cm (66–83 in) in wingspan. In adult birds, the plumage of both subspecies is entirely white, with black feet, and a bill that is mostly black, with a thin salmon-pink streak running along the mouthline and – depending on the subspecies – more or less yellow in the proximal part. The iris is dark brown. In birds living in waters that contains large amounts of iron ions (e.g. bog lakes), the head and neck plumage acquires a golden or rusty hue. Pens (females) are slightly smaller than cobs (males), but do not differ in appearance otherwise. Tundra Swan breeds in the Arctic and subarctic tundra, where they inhabit shallow pools, lakes and rivers. These birds, unlike Mute Swans (C. olor) but like the other Arctic swans, are migratory birds. The winter habitat of both subspecies is grassland and marshland, often near the coast; they like to visit fields after harvest to feed on discarded grains and while on migration may stop over on mountain lakes. According to National Geographic[citation needed], when migrating these birds can fly at altitudes of 8 km (nearly 27,000 ft); Tundra Swan flocks usually fly in V formation.

I unpacked my camera to take a few pics of one of my favorite boys today to help destress, and because he recently got a new body. I'd been wanting to try a Dollstown 17 yrs body for a long time, and Cygnus seemed a perfect candidate and they had a sale. It looks amazing!!! I will have to take more pics later. #switchsoseo #switchbjd #dollstown17 #dollstownbjd
