Description

This is my first light with the William optics Redcat telescope. This image has the north American Nebula (NGC7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC5070) The North America Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to the star Deneb. The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.  This combination of the Redcat and the QHY268 Camera is truly amazing for widefield celestial objects. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
