Description

Five nights and 163 x 2 min exposure for this multi-cession. It was very difficult to aim precisely the same region (no pivoting screen + zenith = yoga), furthermore I had some hard time stacking the different groups and some artefact remains (upper left).

However, given my basic setup (mechanical mount, unmodified DSLR), I'm quite happy with the details, the colors, the noise and the dynamic.

Note, beside the well-known North America and Pelican, the veil nebula on the left and Mothra open cluster (mid left).
