The northern summer Milky Way through the area of the Summer Triangle, showing the change in colour as the Milky Way heads south toward the dustier regions around the galactic core. Deneb in Cygnus is at top, Vega in Lyra is to the upper right, and Altair in Aquila is at bottom. The dark lanes of the Cygnus Rift show up well, beginning in Cygnus and splitting the Milky Way in two on south. The most prominent deep sky objects all visible in binoculars are: - the dark nebula complex Le Gentil 3, aka the Funnel Nebula, at top left - the reddish North America Nebula beside Deneb - and the Serpens-Ophiuchus “Double Cluster” at bottom right consisting of IC 4756 (larger, at left) and NGC 6633 (right), good binocular star clusters. This is a stack of 10 exposures, each 3 minutes at with the Sigma 24mm Art lens, and Nikon D750 at ISO 1600. Exposures Median combined to eliminate satellite trails. The camera is not filter modified. It was on the new Mini Track LX2 wind-up tracker as part of testing. Taken from home July 14, 2018.
