Description

NGC7000 North America Nebula

First attempt at genuine astrophotography in my 'new era'. Rather than jump in the deep end and not get anywhere like last time, this is the time for learning properly with basic kit, apparently with better results than before. Have also learnt a valuable lesson about forgetting to bring a white t shirt for flats, they are sorely missed.
