Cygnus area, again, Cornwall 16/10/20

[Bobby1970]

Been away in Cornwall for a week, just outside of Marazion.

 

First night there was nice and clear and i had the benefit of a roof terrace/balcony so set up the Star Advenurer, Sony A57 and Minolta 50mm lens.

I was having issues polar aligning initially but think i was somewhere near, however i then had issues with power supply intermittency. Its either a dodgy USB cable or the socket on the SA itself.

Anyway all i managed was 18mins worth of 20s shots at iso 3200.  If i had more dark nights i would have had another crack but alas none were as good as the first night. Visually, naked eye was a treat too tbh. Milky way easily visible and M31 with averted vision also.

 

I used DSS, Startools and Topaz to end up with this effort.

 

Thanks for looking.

Nice rich star field. The North America nebula stands out well, and the nebulosity around Sadr.  It’s amazing what’s in Cygnus isn’t it. I reckon one clear night a week in Cornwall is doing quite well.
