Description

I have only ever imaged this nebula as part of a widefield, including the North American nebula - NGC 7000. So, like a lot of people at the moment, I turned my 8" scope and my DSLR to this, this time. I got 41 subs at 5 minutes long over 2 nights. I am pleased with the result bearing in mind the lack of true darkness at the moment.
