Vulpecula Area with Coathanger (135mm Ra).jpg
This is the region of the Milky Way that extends from southern Cygnus at top down into Vulpecula and Sagitta at bottom. Below centre is the Coathanger asterism, aka Brocchi's Cluster or Cr399. Above it is the blue reflection nebula Sharpless 2-83. The magenta emission nebula above and to the left is NGC 6820. A small red nebula above it is Sharpless 2-88. The bright star at upper right is Albireo in Cygnus.
The field is about 15° by 10°.
This is a stack of 9 x 2-minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2.2 and red-sensitive Canon Ra at ISO 800, on the Star Adventurer tracker but unguided. Taken from home on a very clear night, Sept 9/10, 2023. The lens was equipped with an URTH broadband light pollution reduction filter to help suppress sky glow and increase contrast.
