A framing of a wide field in Aquila, with the bright bue-white star Altair at centre, with the red star Tarazed above, and the dimmer star of the trio, Alshain, below. Above Tarazed is the distinct dark nebula known as Barnard's E. Named for Edward Emerson Barnard who photographed and catalogued these dark nebulas in the early 20th century, the "E" is officially B142 and B143. A large dark lane in the Milky Way at right contrasts with the rich starclouds here in Aquila. This is a wide 135mm telephoto lens shot simulating the field of binoculars. This is a stack of 30 x 1 minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2, and Canon Ra at ISO 1000. A separate exposure through a Kase/Alyn Wallace StarGlow filter layered in added the glows. All on the Star Adventurer 2i tracker. Taken from home on a fine night on May15/16, 2023. Most processing in Adobe Cameras Raw, with a Nik Collection 6 ProContrast filter applied in Photoshop.
