Cygnus Loop - another wonderful (and frustrating) collaboration with @bostronomy. A combined 16.5 hours collected by both of us over a period of a month and a half. Took another month and a half to find a way to stack, process and edit in a way that felt acceptable . 122 x 300s (my data) Radian Raptor 61 Canon EOS Ra Optolong L-eNhanced . 76 x 300s (Bostronomy's ) data RedCat 51 ZWO asi2600mc Optolong L-eNhanced . Images were calibrated, stacked and pre-processed in Astro Pixel Processor. APP enables the stacking of data taken from different focal lengths and cameras. Final image was color calibrated in Siril, along with minor background balancing. Final (and most) processing in Photoshop . . . #astronomy #astrophotography #OPTeam #myOPTgear #highpointscientific #agenaastro #earliestlight #astromaniacmag #astrophoto #cygnusloop #Cygnus #veilnebula #westernveil #easternveilnebula #milkyway #supernova #cosmos #Nebula #galaxy #stars #nightsky #rhodeisland #newengland #photography #apod #nasa #ig_astrophotography #space #canonphotography #zwoasi (at Providence, Rhode Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAJ1GnrR5J/?utm_medium=tumblr
