Description

This is an image of part of the Cygnus region that includes the North America Nebula (left), The Pelican Nebula (upper right), the Deadpool Nebula (unofficial name, between NA and Pelican) and IC 5068 (bottom right). The bright star in the top left corner is Deneb.
Conditions have been really tough for Astrophotography in Nova Scotia lately. We've had a few clear nights with not great seeing and high winds and cloud. I'm working on a couple of longer projects and managed to sneak this one in while waiting for my desired targets to get higher before starting. Here's hoping we get a few nice long December nights with less moon as the month progresses.
