Cygnus first light

[Phillyo]

I recently bought the Risingcam IMX571 to pair with my Samyang 135 lens for a very wide field of view. I had first real light, after a couple of sessions getting it set up under questionable skies. So, below is 6 1/2 hours of data for the Cygnus region in 4min subs (I might go back to 3 min) with the samyang at f3.5. Shot as previously stated, with the Risingcam IMX571, Antlia ALP-T 5nm Dual Band filter, ZWO EAF, EQ6r Pro, captured using NINA, PHD2 (guiding issues seem to be resolved now) and Green Swamp Server. Edited using Pixinsight.

99 x 4min subs.

Two edits attached, not sure which I prefer? Always happy to get feedback and criticism on my images and editing. I also need to rotate my camera/lens a bit I think, maybe 90 degrees to fit in some of the large objects in the night sky as my current orientation of 266 degrees is very 'vertical' (no such thing but I think you'll understand) and although it works well for shooting this area, trying to get things like Elephant and Bat, or NAN and Clamshell won't work.

Thanks for looking,

Phil.

Wow

The new camera seems to be working well!!!

My preference is the 2nd (red) image... just seems more like I imagine it to really look if we were to stand beside it!

Thank you. Yeah, after a few initial teething issues it seems to be performing well. I'm enjoying the larger field of view with it!
