Star-rich area of Cygnus, glowing with nebulosity Taken with a 50mm lens only Magnitude: N/A Location: Cygnus Distance: N/A Date: June 30/06 Exposures: 13 of 15 Exposure length: 60 seconds Amp on setting: OFF Brightness: 50 Gain: 26 Gamma: 52 Color Balance: R30B14 L-Meter: N/A Filters: none Notes: First shot using the modified ToUcam with a camera lens, piggybacked on the OTA for tracking. I used a 50mm lens and an EasyPix to hang the camera off the eyepiece, aligned parallel with the OTA. A couple of throwaway frames due to passing cars on the street.
