Description

This image of the North American (NGC 7000) and Pelican Nebulae (IC 5070) was the first complete imaging session with a dedicated astronomy camera, autoguider, and tracker. I'm really pleased with the outcome!

I spent a lot of time processing this one, working to bring the image I knew was in the data to life. While the process (and equipment) seemed daunting, I can't stop thinking about getting under the stars and running the rig again. I'm hooked!

Thanks for looking and clear skies!
