Description

Another clear night but also a night with a full Moon. I decided to try and image NGC 7000.

I've never gotten an image of this object. I've tried but was not successful in getting an image

for one reason or another. When I started imaging the Moon was still below the tree line but I

could see the sky was very bright in that direction. I hoped to get at least 40 images but really

wanted a lot more for this object. The Moon reared it's head just as I began imaging. The images

kept getting brighter with each image I took and at image 21 I decided that it was pointless to

continue because I could just barely see 4 or 5 stars. When I downloaded my images to my

desktop and checked the images I could see that lots of the images were not usable. A lot of the

images had double stars or shrimp shaped stars so I had to trash half my images. I wound up with 10 usable images. After much time spent processing I was able to produce an image.

I've seen much better images of this object but with that said I'm pleased with my first image

of NGC 7000. Please enjoy.
