30 minutes exposure, Fuji Provia 400 film. 120mm f/2.8 Minolta lens.
Lyra is a very distinctive constellation ajoining Cygnus to the west. It is dominated by one of the brightest stars in the northern hemisphere, the beautiful blue-white Vega. It also contains a number of interesting deep-sky objects such as the "Double-double" and the "Ring nebula".
In addition to Lyra, this photograph also shows most of the constellations Cygnus, Vulpecula and Sagitta. There should be several bright emission nebulae visible, however the red sensitivity is so poor that only the brightest register, and then only faintly.
