Cygnus at 50mm at the Peak District

[Skyline]

This is my 2nd try out using the SW Star Adventurer mount, I used a 50mm f1.8 prime lens to capture this area in Cygnus. Taken with a Canon modded 1100D, 55x 1min at ISO800 with no LPR filter, no calibration files were used hence some nasties in the pic.

Looks great, lots of nebulae showing there  Is that one of the Canon primes you've used and was it wide open or stopped down? It looks like a really nice lens.

EDIT: I think it's stopped down from the diffraction on bright stars, f/4?

According to PS Raw. f/5.6

Ah, I nearly wrote f/5.6 as well.

At first thought you would not think that the 50mm prime lens would show such a wide field. Billions and billions of stars.

Impressive. Shows that you can do wide field with affordable lenses and mount.

Hope that you had a nice break in the Peak District.

We had a fantastic time walking the snake path. Which our cottage was next to literally. Also no light pollution any where apart from a slight glow in the direction of Manchester

Glad you enjoyed your trip Ooop North and got a top pic to boot! I'm lucky in that I only live a 20 minute drive from the Peaks - one of my favourite places in the world
