The Cygnus constellation is a pretty one to look at given the right time of year and the right conditions. The Milky Way winds itself right down through the constellation, and as a result it's quite a "busy" place to observe. At this time of year it is right overhead. I have seen some folks take lovely wide field shots of this area of the sky, so thought I would give it a try.
I managed to capture some Milky Way structure. There's some noise from the camera at upper right. I am finding that a bit annoying, maybe I need to take dark shots even for my wide field attempts. (?)
