Cygnus Region

Lights from ... Cygnus Constellation

Cygnus region of the Milky Way has always fed my curiosity because it contains a lot of interesting deep sky objects that can be accessible with modest equipment.

This picture was taken in summer 2015 using a Canon 600D (unmodified) with a 50 mm f/1.8 lens, mounted on a meade lxd75 equatorial mount.

12 pictures of 4 minutes exposure each were stacked using DeepSkyStacker freeware.
Total exposure time : 48 minutes

We can spot on this picture :
- the North America Nebula (NGC 7000)
- the Pelican Nebula
- the Butterfly Nebula
- the Veil Nebula
- the Coalsack Nebula (Borealis)
