Cygnus olor
This swan mommy has returned back to Finland for the spring with her last year chicks still following her. The young ones still have a darker plumage compared to the parent.

The grappling fixture, at the base of the spacecraft, near the engine nozzle, will be used to attach to the robotic arm on the International Space Station. The robotic arm will then guide and connect the spacecraft to an available port.

A transporter carrying the Orbital ATK Cygnus pressurized cargo module, sealed inside a shipping container, backs up to the door to the high bay of the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The module will soon begin preflight preparations for its upcoming mission to carry hardware and supplies on the company’s Commercial Resupply Services flight to the International Space Station.

ISS037-E-018502 (22 Oct. 2013) --- The International Space Station's Canadarm2 unberths 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. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene.
Each exposure was 10 minutes with a Canon 100mm lens riding piggyback on a Losmandy G11. Not sure why the stars are green, focus a little off or the lens needs to be stopped down?

The Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan, and thus a member of the duck, goose and swan family Anatidae. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa.Measuring 125 to 170 centimetres (49 to 67 in) in length, this large swan is wholly white in plumage with an orange bill bordered with black. It is recognisable by its pronounced knob atop the bill.
When swimming, the Mute Swan holds its neck in a graceful "S" curve with its bill pointing downward. The Whooper Swans usually carry their bill level with their neck erect. The male frequently arches his secondary wing feathers over his back in an aggressive display posture.
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
Equiped with 2 magnetic cannons, STYLETs main purpose is to surround enemy capitals ships and quickly destroy their shield before retreating. These CYGNUS Corp. fighter also carry a light laser gatling and 2 plasma blasters.
Cygnus will launch atop the Antares rocket, developed by Orbital Sciences Corporation, at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Cygnus is the constellation of the swan which is seen in the summer and autumn in the northen hemisphere. The milky way runs through it so it is particularly beautiful on a dark night.
The etymology of the star name Deneb is from Arabic ذنب الدجاجة Dhanab ad-Dajāja, 'The Hen's tail' (according to Wikipedia)
10 minute expousure cleaned up in photoshop elements 6.0. Forgot to unset the camera from mono mode, doh! I was going to take a film image, but the clouds rolled in.
10 minute exposure at f5 using a Canon 17-55mm kit lens.

They say that if our sun was the size of the tip of a ball-point pen, then the Millky Way would be the size of the surface of the United States..
Despite the forecast being cloudy the weather was really clear last night so popped out to take take some photos, last nights target was Cygnus, or at least some of it, I wanted the next "point" on the Summer Triangle so I really just wanted to make sure Deneb was in frame.
Deneb (Alpha Cygni) is towards the left of the frame, bright and blueish in colour, just above the center of the image is the Inchworm Cluster near Sadr. I decided to shoot at 55mm so I could get more of Cygnus in as it's a larger Constellation.
Off work this week so I hope there is some more clear nights!

Wispy tendrils of hot dust and gas glow brightly in this ultraviolet image of the Cygnus Loop nebula, taken by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The nebula lies about 1,500 light-years away, and is a supernova remnant, left over from a massive stellar explosion that occurred between 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. The Cygnus Loop extends over three times the size of the full moon in the night sky, and is tucked next to one of the "swan's wings" in the constellation of Cygnus. The filaments of gas and dust visible here in ultraviolet light were heated by the shockwave from the supernova, which is still spreading outward from the original explosion. The original supernova would have been bright enough to be seen clearly from Earth with the naked eye. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) we have all snapped swans, so my thoughts when I snapped this one were to crop in tight the droplets are like jewels.
Doel van een wandeling in Amsterdam (naast het Meertens instituut) tijdens COVID (lekker rustig).
