Description

North America Nebula (NGC7000), imaged over 4 hours from a Bortle 5/6 backyard with an entry-level mount (Star Adventurer), which tracks and guides along the RA axis only. 6+ minute subs are possible on the SA with careful polar alignment, dec and RA axis alignment, and guiding.

Extracted Ha and OIII and recombined using the HOO 2 palette in Astro Pixel Processor, with touchups in photoshop and Topaz Denoise AI.

This is my first long session with 6 minute subs, first night with the L-extreme, and first time working with narrowband data.
