Description

This was a half-hearted 2.5 hour attempt at the North American Nebula that turned out way better than it had any right to, thanks to the pitch-black southern Utah skies.

There is so. much. going. on. Zoom in and explore around.

I've only slightly exaggerated the blues that contrast the usual red-dominant Hydrogen nebulae. The amount of stars in the upper left area is mind-boggling.

Taken from Dixie National Forest, Utah.
