Cygnus zoom in series, the "Crescent Nebula, NGC 6888
Due the high latitude, 65N, deep sky astronomical imaging can't be done up here yet.
Instead I made an other zoom in series from my older material to show the apparent scale in the sky.
This time I'm zooming from 23 to 0,3 degrees of sky at the direction of NGC 6888 in Cygnus.
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 level of details.
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 have added a "Moon circle" in 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.
Cygnus zoom in series, a study of the apparent scale in the sky.
Note. The apparent size of the full Moon is marked as a gray circle at upper Right corner.
