Star Adventurer 2i for tracking

Post-processing Details:

Used Starnet2 to separate stars and Affinity Photo 2 to process. Processing included emphasizing the colors and other activities to refine the shot.

Image Details:

This pic was another example of what happens when you are out playing around. I was experimenting with different lenses and using either full spectrum or visible + Ha. When I went back inside and saw the pic it really shows how interesting the Cygnus constellation is (and there is more than what you see in this pic). It is so much fun to realize all the interesting in space and be able to photograph them. Maybe tomorrow morning will be zooming in with my 150-600 on some of the objects here!
