Description

The Cygnus Wall is a small section of NGC 7000 North America Nebula. This was the first target I imaged with the QHY268M I bought 6 months ago and was captured over 6 evenings over Summer 2022. I accidentally used a wrong size spacer and didn't quite get the right back focus which resulted in my stars being slightly elongated in the corners, so I put these subs to one side until now. Along came Russell Crowman's excellent BlurXTerminator which is not only an amazing deconvolution tool, but makes a big improvement in star shape and made this data set useable!
  • Cropped from 6252 x 4176  -->  3322 x 2376
  • A total of 11hrs integration time with Antlia 4.5nm SHO filters (3:3:5).
  • Imaging dates:
