| Gamma Cygnus complex | ||||||||
 |
||||||||
| The Gamma Cygnus complex can be seen under clear dark skies with the naked eye. It will appear as just a bit of a cloudy patch right next to Gamma Cygnus. Gamma Cygnus is the crux star in the cygnus (northern cross) constellation. The nebula to the right of Gamma Cyg in this photo is sometimes referred to as the butterfly nebula. The Nebula appears to be bisected by a dust lane of dark intersteller matter. Technical Data Scope: 400mm lens & OM-1 camera Guiding: ST4 Film: Supra 400 for RGB and hypered tech pan for luminance Composition: One 60 minute RGB luminance layered with a 90 minute tech pan shot taken with a lumicon hydrogen alpha shot. I used Rob Gendler's LLRGB and HA-RRGB itteration method to combine these shots and bring out the contrast. |
