Description

One of my first tracked astrophotos from 2017.

As weather conditions keep being bad here I keep rediscovering old data and process it.

Well, this is what the North American Nebula looks like when you use an unmodified old camera! You can spot the shape of the dark cloud in the dust lanes when you look closely. There's been quite some technical progress within the last decade definitely.

This was taken with an unmodified Olymus E600 camera, a Zuiko 300mm f/8 lens and my Star Adventurer mount. I don't remember the total integration time, probably around 3 or 4 hours.

Looking forward to some upcoming nights without clouds here - my equipment is much better these days than back then...
