Starship Asterisk*

A part of the cirrus nebula in HA and OIII

"Unfolding Space" By Paul C Swift

http://moonrocksastro.com/

This is the culmination of my exploration of Cygnus from my back yard, my summer 2016 mosaic. It has been an adventure into the dark areas of the undulating mountainous nebular complex around Gamma Cygni. I was surprised to find the forgotten Weinberger Planetary Nebula and amazed by the giant blue bubble like structure of the lower left of frame. What could this be? some sort of oxygen emitting Planetary Nebula? The mosaic consists of 8 panels with and integration of around 200 hours of photography and two weeks of processing. I hope you find it as interesting, as I found the adventure of capturing it.

"A Day in the Astro Camp" by György Soponyai is the most fascinating "little planet" image I have seen.

When the sky is decently, it is not necessary any more.

A walk through the woods in Galicia can bring us to the universe, the foreground in backlight to not disturb.

In this heaven highlight the Milky Way, of course. To his right the triangle formed by Saturn, Mars and Antares. To his left, above the trees, the brightest star is Altair.
