This picture contains several deep sky objects. In the middle is a small open star cluster called Messier 18 or the Black Swan Cluster. It is pretty small but right in the middle. Above that is a bright star forming gas cloud called the Omega Nebula and near the top is the Eagle Nebula, home of the famous Pillars of Creation. Below Messier 18 is Messier 24, a large star cloud. Imagine placing your right thumb there. That large mass is the cloud. The darker areas are assorted dark nebula that block light from the stars behind them.
The field of view is 8 degrees tall by 5.5 degrees wide.
This image is of the Sadr Region in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan. Sadr is the bright star smack dab in the center. Around it is a large gas cloud, or clouds, spanning much of the constellation. These glow in the red from the Hydrogen that makes them up. Plus some dark nebula like in the other image. Sadr is the central star in the constellation marking the center of that swan.
The field of view is the same as the other image and both were shot with my Samyang 135mm F2 prime lens and ASI294MC Pro camera.
