During two series of the western part of the Cirrus-Nebula with the 4"-TMB of the AAR the venerable Canon 300Da with the kip-lens ran alongside piggybacked. The first night was still a warm summernight with the summer triangle still high in the sky. I didn't care a lot about aligning the camera so the nice framing from the Cocoon-Nebula to the „coathanger“ (aka „cablecar“) and the Dolphin happened by happy chance.
By mid-October I shot the adjacent field of the milkyway in Cepheus.
