Description

The processing was quite challenging due to wild gradients of light pollution and time differences while shooting different parts of this image.

This region hosts numerous nebulae, including most photographed and easily recognized NGC7000 (North America Nebula), Pelican Nebula, Sadr Butterfly and Crescent Nebulae, Propeller and Tulip nebulae, a multitude of dark nebulae and star clusters.

My special thanks to friends who made me a company on that night and to Adam Block for his instructional videos on astronomical image processing.

Each panel was built from 8 images of 180 seconds, ISO640, F/3.2, FL=200mm
