Description

The North America Nebula appears for a short period of time at low altitudes in our New Zealand skies and is more visible as one goes north.  As I am in the far north, it was at 9 degrees for for a short time.   Carrying my scope & mount to the 'spot' at about 60 meters from its normal setup position, I captured a very short amount of time but still able to get some decent signal.

Given the dark skies here, I have been able to bring out some of the structures in the Pixinsight processing.  As it is now late October with sunset later in the evening, I will need to attempt to capture more next year during our late winter/early spring.
