Photo description / processing

The night from August 10 to 11 turned out clear, and thinking to myself that sleep is for the weak, I decided to do some astrophotography✨???? And what object really stands out in August against the famous meteor shower? Of course, Chi and h in the constellation Perseus????✨

I had already shot it multiple times with an ED refractor, but this time I decided that the surrounding star fields would also look nice, so I used a YONGNUO 50mm F1.4 camera lens and an AT-1 star tracker for this purpose.

In addition to frames of the object itself, I also took calibration frames (darks and biases). Stacking was done in DeepSkyStacker, and further processing in Fitswork.
