Two birds with one stone (and M8, and IC 1284)

I managed to squeeze some imaging and me time last night before the moon rose. This a field taken around the two celestial birds, the swan and the eagle in scutum. SMC Pentax - M 100mm stopped at F/5.6 - 20x10min in Ha with the QHY9 at -20c. Haven't imaged in ages so maybe a tad out of focus.

Perfect night last night. No dew, no wind and no moon until 10ish. I left the scope out, just covered it today so maybe tonight I try something else like M8.

Big one here. Will try to add some plate solve later on.

PS: Added a negative platesolve of the area here.

PSS: Added M8/20 from tonight. Again 20x10min. Big one here.

PSSS: Another clear night so I added one panel centered around IC1284. Maybe I can mosaic the three if I have any overlap. Big one here and platesolve here.
