Astrophotography from a tripod

Cygnus

The star clouds of the milky way appear quite prominent. The North America nebula, an emission nebula glowing in the light of the hydrogene alpha line at a wavelength of 650 nm, is invisible due to the poor red sensitivity of this film type.

Date: October 1995

Lens: f=50 mm, f/1,7
