IC 1396, the scale in a sky, zoom in series in HST-palette
I have shot many targets with several focal lengths.
Due that, I will publish some of my material as an image sets, with different field of view and detail levels.
The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely by this way and it will make the orientation more easy.
Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.
Due that, I will add a Moon circle in some of the images to show the angular scale in a sky.
The full Moon has an angular size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.

In constellation Cepheus
Images are HST-palette compositions from emission of ionized elements, R=Sulfur, G=Hydrogen and B=Oxygen.
Narrowband data was used for Star colors.

NOTE. The size of the full Moon (0,5 degrees) is marked as scale.

Sharpless 157, Sh2-157, apparent scale in the sky

In constellation Cassiopeia
Note. Size of the full Moon is marked as a gray circle, at upper Right corner, for a scale.
Other targets in images above
The "Bubble Nebula" can be seen in upper Left corners.
The "Wizard Nebula" locates at utmost Right at the top panorama stripe.
There are two individual images used to make this image series

While shooting lights for my Giant Cosmic Squid project, I had to wait few hours every night to the Ou4 to be well placed in the sky. I spent those hours to shoot some frames for North America and Pelican Nebula area. I have shot many details from this area , while making my poster about Treasures of the Swan I noticed that there are many overlapping photos. I shot new material for the missing parts and finally, I was able to build a mosaic image of the area!
16-panels are now combined seamlessly to a very high resolution image. Each frame is shot three times, one exposure set for the light emitted by an ionized hydrogen (H-alpha), second set for the light emitted by an ionized sulfur (S-II) and third set for the ionized oxygen. (O-III) Total exposure time used for this image combo is just under 200h! The original resolution is around 16.000 x 16.000 pixels. Frames for this mosaic image are taken between 2014-2018 and I have published them as an
individual compositions.
