The small constellations of Sagitta (pointed up at centre) and Vulpecula (upper right) between Albireo (far right) and Altair (far left) in the northern summer sky. The Coathanger cluster, Cr399, is at bottom centre. The Dumbbell Nebula, M27, is at top centre. The M71 globular cluster in Sagitta is at centre, below the arrowhead star in Sagitta. This is a stack of 2 x 2-minute exposures with the 85mm Rokinon lens at f/2 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, with an additional exposure through the Kenko Softon filter layered in to add the star glows. Taken from Quailway Cottage in Arizona, with the Star Adventurer Mini tracker.
