Cygnus Mosaic - Sadr Region This was my first attempt at a mosaic and I stumbled on to the fact that I could actually do it by accident. My setup isn't perfect for mosaics - full frame mirrorless camera has a lot of vignetting and unflat corners (leading to bad stars in the corners), but I really wanted to try it. Luckily, I got enough clear nights to get enough panels to make it happen. With 21 hours and 20 mins of total integration, this is officially my most time in one image. Each panel is roughly 4 hours worth of data with the Sadr Region panel having 6.5 hours and the panel right below the Tulip Nebula having 3 hours and 20 min. Processing was a real pain, due mostly to my imaging setup but also random light gradients from being in Bortle 8. It's not perfect by any means, but I am happy with the result (doesn't mean I won't be working on trying to make it better!) . 21 hours, 20 min integration Dark, flat, dark flat and bias calibration frames Bortle8 .

A reprocess of my Sadr Region & Crescent Nebula data from last Summer - Sadr is the second brightest star in the constellation Cygnus, second only to Deneb. Like Deneb, it is surrounded by beautiful nebula! With this particular image, I processed it in Astro Pixel Processor by extracting the narrowband color channels - Ha, Oii and Sii (Ha-Oiii Mono) and then combining them to create an image in a simulated SHO, aka "Hubble Palette." Since I am using a color camera, it is not a true SHO image, but since I am using a dual narrow band filter, it is a pretty accurate representation. I have had three clear nights within the last week and I feel truly blessed (and tired) because of it. Hopefully it continues! . @radiantelescopes @optcorp @canonusa @optolongfilter . 46 x 300s 20 darks; 50 flats, dark flats, & biases 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

The Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888) Taken from my backyard in Providence, RI (Bortle 8 skies). I am using my time without the ability to setup, both because of clouds and equipment, to go over data captures earlier in the year and give them a retouch ot reprocess. Once again, I feel like the starless (image 2) version shines. NGC 6888 is an emission Nebula located around 5000 light years away in the constellation Cygnus.

Crescent Nebula - SHO Palette (Simulated) NGC 6888 is an emission nebula found in the constellation Cygnus. I was blessed to get some decent data on this target over last Summer, as well as participate in my first collaboration. This is post here features my data alone processed in a simulated SHO palette. I had done this last year, but I was not happy withchow it came out. With this reprocess, I am a lot happier. . Situation note: I finally replaced my laptop but I am hesitant in taking it out in current winter conditions here in New England. I am looking st way to be able to keep the laptop itself a little more climate controlled while being outside and connected. . 61 x 420s Dark, flat, dark flat amd bias frames used 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

The Crescent Nebula - NGC 6888 While waiting for targets in the Cygnus Loop to rise, I gathered a little data on this target and realized I wanted to get a lot more then the 35min I got the first night. I ended up with just over 7 hours worth of images over three nights. NGC 6888 is an emission Nebula located around 5000 light years away in the constellation Cygnus.
