Eagle & Swan in their 'natural habitat'

[avandonk]

Here is a wide field of Eagle and Swan in their natural habitat. Some nights everything goes to plan. Some cloud still a bit of a pain. The 6 deg C temperature at least keeps the camera noise low.

Details
Canon 5DH, Canon 300mmF2.8 at F2.8, 14X240sec at ISO 400, Hutech LPR filter, in cam noise reduction ON, processed with ImagesPlus and RegiStar.

There are lots of other objects and may make a superimposed map later. I am actually quite pleased with this one.

the one near where it say cr469 is the one i mean :) black sea with 2(?) pin pricks of light in the middle... sounds like an interesting target for a closeup :)

Excellent work Bert. The sky is rendered nice and dark neutral and the nebulae a pleasing colour. So much information in the image too. Who needs a schmidt camera anymore :)
