Whooper Swan, moulting in process which can be seen in its side profile. Lack of primaries causes impression of long tail.

ISS037-E-016758 (21 Oct. 2013) --- European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano, Expedition 37 flight engineer, gives a thumbs up signal after closing the hatch between the International Space Station’s Harmony node and the Orbital Sciences’ Cygnus commercial cargo spacecraft in preparation for its release after completing a successful demonstration mission to the space station. Cygnus delivered 1,300 pounds of gear on Sept. 29 when it arrived and was captured by Canadarm2 and berthed to the Harmony node.

Just a quick trial of the canon macro 100/2.8-L, on the 5d mark II. 69*3min exposure@1600 iso. Bias, dark and flat corrections applied.
Conclusions:
a) very weak on the corners, but quite ok at the center.
b) strong coma-shaped reflection on the brightest stars.
-->Definitely not for an astro use in theses conditions :-)

After a trying out a new techique for dealing with curved fields, and reshooting a number of OIII subs to replace Moon damaged data. I can now present a much more balanced version.
The blue gradient that used to be in the middle of the frame is now gone, and only minimal cropping has been used.
Also uploaded at full scale.

Thanks for looking! :)
The black-necked swan breeds in Chilean Southern Zone, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and on the Falkland Islands. In the austral winter, this species migrates northwards to Paraguay and southern Brazil

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.
