My daughter's first astro night: Cygnus + trails

This was my 6-year-old daughter's first astrophotography night, and one of these is going on her bedroom wall. Three shots from one night with the DWARF 3 wide-angle camera, rural southern Virginia. 1. The Milky Way in Cygnus over a tree: North America and Pelican Nebulae next to Deneb, the Cygnus Rift, M39. 221 frames, about 55 min. 2. Star trails: 571 frames, 2 h 23 min, plane and satellite trails removed. 3. Close-up of the North America and Pelican Nebulae. We forgot to select a target, so the DWARF didn't track. The sky drifted across the frame while the tree stayed still. Most frames were useless for a deep stack, but perfect for star trails. 15 s, gain 60, 999 frames, DWARF darks, flat and bias. Processed in Siril and GraXpert plus my own stacking, which keeps the tree sharp.
