In the constellation of Cygnus, there lurks a mysterious, invisible force -The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1.

Six stars of the northern cross, in mourning for their sister's loss. In a final flash of glory, nevermore to grace the night

The Cygnus Wall Complex is part of the North America nebula. It contains the most concentrated star formation in the nebula.

This is a 2-part composition, shot with a Meade LX200 8" f/10 ACF telescope, Zwo ASI071MC Pro camera with Optolong L-eXtreme filter and a Optec Lepus 0.62X Standard reducer.

I have it as an OTA. My mount is a Ioptron CEM25EC with an Ioptron Ipolar camera in it. So polar alignment is the same as with an EQ-mount. The weight of the scope is around 50% of the payload of the mount, so that works fine.
The mount has optical encoders on RA and also because of that, I can do 600sec captures with tracking only :)
