This frames the Milky Way from the bright star Altair in Aquila (at bottom left) up to Albireo in Cygnus (at top right). In between are the small constellations of Sagitta the Arrow and Vulpecula the Fox. The well-known asterism called the Coathanger, aka Brocchi's Cluster or Cr399, is right of centre in the dark lane of dust. The small (on this scale) green globe of the Dumbbell Nebula or M27 is at upper left. The small globular cluster M71 lies along the arrow stars of Sagitta at centre. Above Altair is the orange star Tarazed and beside it is the dark nebula complex called Barnard's E or B142-143. The star cluster NGC 6885 is at upper left. This is a stack of 10 x 2-minute exposures with the rare Samyang RF85mm lens at , on the filter-modified Canon Ra camera at ISO 1000, and tracked on the Star Adventurer tracker. Taken from home on a very clear night Sept 10/11, 2023. The lens had a NISI Natural Night broadband light pollution reduction filter, to decrease gradients and boost contrast.
