Wide field image of Eagle and the Swan Nebulae.

My wide field image of the Eagle and the Swan Nebulae. Taken with my Rokinon 135mm prime lens mounted on my 1300D DSLR Canon camera attached to a Star Adventure 2i pro tracking mount. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was taken under Bortle 3 skies in Falls Bay Gower. Settings were 45s and 800ISO at f/2.8. 100 light frames, 50 flat frames and 30 dark frames all stacked in DSS, edited in Sirl and finished off in Gimp 2.10 in which I used Star Reduction to make the stars smaller.
