Description

NGC-7000 - a classic in astro imaging. However, my first attempt on it.

Even more, it was the wettest imaging session I ever had. Not only the waxing moon with some 67% (or so) trying to make my life more difficult, but also I had to litteraly drain my guiding scope every 5 imagesfrom water on its front lens! Fortuntely the main OTA remained dry on the front lens thanks to an extra long dew shield.

I am unsure yet about the right saturation of colors, color depth and contrast. I'm still trying, which is why this image is in the eveluation section. There is a lot of light available in this image, much more than I'm used to.

Maybe you have some consultant comment on this?

Clear Skies!
