The overhead northern summer Milky Way through the Summer Triangle area, from Cepheus at top and down into Scutum at bottom. At centre are the Summer Triangle stars of Deneb, Vega and Altair, in Cygnus, Lyra and Aquila respectively. The bright Cygnus Starcloud is at centre; the Scutum Starcloud is at bottom. The dark Cygnus Rift of dust in the Milky Way runs from Deneb above centre, to Serpens at bottom and beyond to the south. The red North America Nebula is at top beside Deneb. Above it is the dark patch known as LeGentil 3 or the Funnel Cloud Nebula.

Taken from home on July 6/7, 2024 on a very clear night, but with the sky not astronomically dark at my latitude.

Taken as part of testing the Viltrox 16mm Z-mount lens on the Nikon Z6III camera, with all on the MSM Nomad tracler. This is a stack of 9 x 1-minute exposures at f/2 and ISO 800.
