Sadr Widefield

[MattJenko]

I have been smitten by my 50mm lens and my Star Adventurer. Such a lovely little combination. Here is a shot of Cygnus, around the Sadr region. You can see the North American nebula and various others around Sadr itself. I can almost convince myself that the Crescent is in there as well. I have missed the Veil, but that only means I should give it another go!

Canon 450d, 50mm lens, StarAdventurer. 20 x 2 mins.

I do love this hobby, so many different skills and things to do.

Cheers

Great image, a 50mm lens is on my list of things to get..: )

Nice shot. The Veil will fit nicely into frame as well but I found it got rather lost against the dense starfield when i tried to shoot it. Don't know if anyone knows of some good processing tips to bring it out?

The above was only 12 minutes of data so it's also on my list to reshoot this Autumn.

A tight star mask and MorphologicalTransformation if you use PixInsight might do the trick. I'll try when I get a chance to give this another go.

Very nice shot, love the color and amount of details. I am planning on buying the star adventurer but first I have to convince my other half. 

well done,

Nice image,Matt. It reminds me of 'The Cambridge Photographic Star Atlas'.

Great. A party game called 'find that nebula!' I'm due outside but I think I can see the Tulip...

You could try removing the stars first using the jp metsavainio star removal action, then sticking them back in later - worth a shot!

Cheaper than Straton (free in fact)
