Lähdin tänään Kuortaneelle linnustamaan. Kirjasin sieltä yhden uuden lajin: pilkkasiipi, Melanitta fusca.
This area contains several Nebula (North American and Pelican) as well as star clusters. These are typically referred to as emission Nebulas. Lots of gas and dust floating in space. If you have questions about how I took this image - give me a shout! This is a superset of the last image I uploaded. Taken under Fairfax, Virginia skies
This is a 2 pane mosaic of NGC7000. After the bad framing of the previous image, I decided to take a second pane to fully cover the mexico part of the nebula.

Black swan are prevelant in NZ, but when they have Cignets, I find them interesting to watch the teaching process.

:"my friend the swan set"
Three panel panorama taken with a 30 years old nikon lens 50mm f5.6 iso 3200 60sec each with star adventurer and HEUIB II filter, during the star gathering of my astronomy club at mountain mainalo. Foreground was taken just before the dawn. Clouds, moisture and low temperatures made things a bit difficult but i love winter sky so much!
The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurosiberia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America, home to the largest populations outside of its native range, with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species..Mute swans lay from 4 to 10 eggs. The female broods for around 36 days, with cygnets normally hatching between the months of May and July. The young swans do not achieve the ability to fly before about 120 to 150 days old. This limits the distribution of the species at the northern edge of its range as the cygnets need to learn to fly before the ponds and lakes freeze over

Taken 6 to 10 August 2022 on consecutive nights, a wide field of the Cygnus region containing The Tulip, Crescent, Soap Bubble, WR 134 and Sh2-104 Nebulae. This image comprises 18hrs of capture of narrowband Sii, Ha, and Oiii plus LRGB for the stars. So many elements in this image to bring out in processing, starting from scratch 5 times now, but this is the finished version for now anyway. Whilst there are many individual nebulae in this image, a few of the more identifiable due to structure are listed below.
The Tulip Nebula – Sh2-101 The emission from the Tulip Nebula is powered by ultraviolet radiation of the hot young star HD 227018. The O6.5III class star belongs to the Cygnus OB3 association and has a visual magnitude of 9.02. In images, it can be seen near the nebula’s centre.
The Soap Bubble Nebula, or PN G75 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus, near the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). It was discovered by amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich using an Astro-Physics 160 mm refractor telescope with which he imaged the nebula on June 19, 2007 and on July 6, 2008. Can you see it? It is underneath the Crescent Nebula, a little to the left in this image.
WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun.
NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula, is about 25 light-years across blown by winds from its central, bright, massive star. The oxygen atoms produce the blue hue that seems to enshroud the detailed folds and filaments. Visible within the nebula, NGC 6888's central star is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The star is shedding its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind, ejecting the equivalent of the Sun's mass every 10,000 years.
Sh2-104 is a very faint emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. This is located due east of the popular Crescent Nebula. Sh2-104 is viewed by professional astronomers as a good illustration of the "collect and collapse" model of star formation triggered by the rapid expansion of a Helium II region.

The rich constellation Cygnus (Swan) is beautiful itself but through a 12nm Hydrogen-alpha clip filter it reveals a large amount of hydrogen nebulae.
This is my first "real" attempt to blend photos with a Ha filter and classic RGB images.
I tried to keep as much of the natural background as possible and at the same time get some extra nebulosity into the image.
There were a lot more nebulae in the Ha photo itself, but I decided to go for a more decent processing.
H alpha was photographed over two nights with a total time of more than 6 hours.
Even though Ha cuts off some wavelengths and "can be" photographed with the moon in the sky, it wasn't a good idea.
Weak details were not added not only because of the bright moon but also because of the wide field of view.
So next time i'll stick with the longer focal lenght :)
Despite the fact that there is not as much detail in the photo as I wanted, I am quite satisfied with it, but of course I will accept any criticism

Cygnus Loop is the remains of a massive star explosion - a supernova. It is located about 1440 light years from Earth and consists of several smaller nebulae, among others: Veil, Pickering's Triangle and ... Witch's broom.

Part of the North America Nebula, NGC 7000, shot with narrowband filters and rendered as false color in the SHO Hubble palette. This image was made with my Takahashi FSQ 106 EDX4 and ZWO ASI6200 MM full frame monochrome sensor behind 3 nm Chroma SII, Ha, and OIII filters all on a Paramount ME, unguided. The image was constructed from 3 hours of total exposure (20 exposures of 3 min each for each filter) in my backyard in the northeast heights of Albuquerque, NM, USA. The Moon was 93% full. The date was May 24, 2021. The individual images were calibrated, integrated and channel combined as RGB in PixInsight. Color adjustments were made in Lightroom and Photoshop. This image is cropped and is about 25% in area of the full frame.
The Cygnus Wall is 2950 light years from Earth (based on Gaia satellite astrometry of 395 stars in the nebula) and is a very rich HII star forming region. The wall is approximately 40 light years in length. Please note: the star colors are artificial (as is the entire image).
Wide field image of the entire constellation. Image taken with an Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens stopped to f/2.8. Camera is a Canon Ra set to ISO 3200. This was a stack of 15 images of varying exposure times, from 15s up to 2 min's. Image processing done in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

I am glad I have been able to
photograph the cygnus loop for the first time. This supernova remanent is about 2500 light years away. It is very wide and therefore a good target for my 76EDPH with a focal length of 342mm mounted on my A7s astromodified
