Description

Wide field image of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000). This was taken from my dark site near Tahoe, CA using a 135 mm lens attached to my C8 telescope using the Geoptik Canon lens adapter. The image is a 2-panel mosaic of this part of the Milky Way, with the lens set to f/2. I had tried to also catch the Veil Nebula, but unfortunately was not able to get the panels to match up properly.

With current travel restrictions in place, I really miss being able to go out to my dark site! Until then, I'll have to stick with narrow-band, lunar, and planetary imaging.
