Description

This is my attempt at the North American Nebula with a new setup. I really like the detail and depth of the tangled web of darkness in the Gulf of Mexico portion.

Star halos were bad, but I minimized them as best I could. Still not ideal. Probably need better filters. Collimation is close, but also could be just a little bit better. It's very tough to get spot on with the Epsilon 130D.

Please let me know if you have any tips or suggestions, especially on the star halos.
