Description

Second attempt at the North America Nebula. This time using the Star Adventurer.

We had a storm coming in, and so it was quite windy, 25 kph, but I was able to hide behind some trees and half very little wind for most of the evening. It was also around a 68% moon, and so overall not so great conditions, but I wanted to get out before we have a long period of clouds and rain.

Looking back at my previous version that was taken on a tripod it's very clear how much a difference integration time matters. That one was shot on a moonless night in very stable conditions, in comparison.
