H-alpha clouds in Cygnus

I finally had another so-so night where I could see a few stars, so I was able to test the system with the 35mm chip of the STL11K. The weather here has been terrible with lots of cloud cover and haze from fires up north in Canada. During one 3 hour period I was able to get some testing done of the 130 GTX and Quad TCC attached to the STL11K camera, all mounted on a Mach1 mount.


Here is the result of only 3 x 15 minute exposures of the H-alpha clouds in Cygnus:

If I can get a few clear nights I plan to shoot a 9 panel mosaic of this entire region.
