IC 1318


Combination of 20, 3 minute images using an H-alpha filter.
SBIG ST-8XE CCD. 300mm f/4 Tamron zoom lens.

The region around gamma cygnii is a wonderful complex of light and dark nebulosity. It is the nearest that the northern sky has to compare to NGC 3372 in the southern sky, although it is much fainter. In adition to the nebula, there are a number of open clusters in the region. The brightest is situated just above gamma. This is NGC 6910.


Combination of 30, 1 minute images using an H-alpha filter.
SBIG ST-10XE CCD. 5" f/5 refractor at prime focus.


Combination of the above image as the luminance layer and 10, 3 minute images each using red, green and blue filters.
