Vulpecula widefield.

[ollypenrice]

Here Paul and I added two panels to the left hand side of our recently posted SH2-86/88/90 image. This has, as intended, brought M27 into the field. The Dumbell isn't normally seen against a particularly dusty background so we wanted to confirm that the dust and gas really does thin out to the east of the red Sharpless objects - and so it does. This isn't often imaged in widefield yet it's rather a splendid patch of Milky Way, we thought. On average, an hour per colour and three hours' Ha for each of the four panels, shot with the house twin Tak/Atik 11000/Mesu 200 setup.

Wide ield shots can be impressive, can't they?

Very nice..... this is a super wide field shot. Great to see M27 in this context too.... ????

M27 adds an extra dimension to this image. Excellent

Great work Olly and Paul. Very natural and unforced look about it.

That's a beautiful part of the sky--and an amazing photograph of it. The star colours are really natural-looking, as well, which is something photos with lots of Ha often fall short on.  

I was out on Thursday night under the Milky Way, it had been a difficult day and sitting against the tripod gazing up at the Cygnus area as the sky got darker and the clusters slowly appeared was the best way to relax!

That is a really lovely image - an unusual take on this portion of sky but all the more beautiful for that.

Fabulous Olly - I have never seen M27 set in context like you have shown here with this glorious widefield, strengthened with the Ha addition and sprinkled with star colour.

Very creative and hats off to you and Paul.

Awesome piece of work and the inclusion of M27 defiantly gives it enhanced perspective, definition.

Beautiful... wide field images have something to them, and that Dumbell just completes it.

 

[HunterHarling]

Really awesome. I've never seen one like this before...

[celestron8g8]

I agree , awesome WF image and bonus with M27 . Very nice !

Yes, putting M27 in this wide field context really gives the (correct) impression that some kind of discrete cosmic event has occurred there, and wonderfully illustrates why they are called planetary nebulae.

A beautiful composition.

Super! Those extra panels really do set everything in context!
