Cygnus and the tree WF

[Daniel-K]

last 

astro shot for a while now.  The conditions where epic and while i was waiting for the moon to set fully, i was stood in front of this tree and decided to try something new.  

A 200 shot stack and a 4 pane pano. thats 50 x 12" images for each pane at ISO 6400 f2.8 20mm. 

This is part of the Cygnus constellation home to the North America Nebula which you can see as a pink blotch towards the top of the image. This Nebula is approx 100 light years across and 1800 light years away. 

I love this section of the milky way as its so dense with stars when your at a dark sky location it glows wonderfully in the sky .
