Description

It's summer and the Cygnus region is one of the most structured regions on the northern sky - so the ideal target for a WF fast optics and a large sensor. At f/2.8 (stepped down from f2) exposure times are around 2 min, so one can collect quite a number of frames over a few nights - so dithering and 2x drizzling against undersampling. But files really get large! 

data were taken on July 5,6,7, and 8.
