Here is a image of the Milky Way around Cygnus. It was taken with a Canon 10D and 35mm lens at F2.5 using a Lumicon DSF. It’s a stack of 12-5min images at ISO1600. It was stacked in Images Plus and processed in PS.

Thanks for looking.

Mark

Nice FOV, its neet that NGC6995/Cirrus is peeking out. Too many open clusters to count right down to little ones like NGC6811. It would be interesting to compare it to a piggy back film shot of the same region to see what is gained.

Great shot,
Mark

Beautiful shot Mark!
Incredible FOV on this shot... lots of detail all around!
The 10D proves to be a winner camera!

Thanks for sharing!

Mark, beautiful shot as always. It's a shame it appears that Albireo was just missed, it would have been icing on the cake. I really like the red response of the 10D. A very similar scale shot I took on film (FujiPress 800) has much less red response:

I want to take some piggyback shots with my D60. I'll have to be careful of my placement due to amp glow, though.

Keep it up. Andy
