Description

After all these years finally got around the imaging the Cygnus Wall which is part of NGC7000 / the North American nebula. Rare to get some clear nights in Florida in July, however, transparency is poor this time of year. Putting nearly 6 hours of exposure time on this with the 5" refractor somewhat confirms I should stick with mono vs OSC for narrowband.

No stars were removed, but I did reduce size / intensity by 15% with APP.  The ongoing starless or nearly starless images with excessive tone mapping I find odd, as it is not representative of the sky.
