Description

It had been quite a while since I was out out under the stars and I was feeling a little night sky withdrawal. Poor weather, traces of wildfire smoke and some nagging health issues had made stargazing a real challenge recently, but with what seems like a rare clear night around here, I finally got out.

This image of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) was captured from my Bortle 5 backyard.  The 56 minute exposure was stacked and calibrated in Astro Pixel Processor with final processing and editing in Adobe Photoshop.

I am still a beginner and have much to learn about both capture and processing, but am having lots of fun along the way.
