Great news! I got my first CCD camera: a Moravian Instruments G2-1600. It’s got a Kaf-1603ME sensor, so it’s a very sensitive NABG camera. I got narrow band filters too, so expect some images in the Hubble palette.
The image you see in this post was shot through a 12nm O-III filter.
It depicts what is usually put on the left in images of the North America nebula, NGC 7000.
