Description

My sky was dark and there was no Moon.  However there was very heavy moisture and I had trouble keeping
everything dry.  I did get an image but I can't say I'm really pleased with the image. I did not like the 
framing. I could not see this object in my images and could not tell how it was oriented in the image. This
object has always been a favorite of mine. Many years ago before I began astro photography  I read an article 
in Sky and Telescope magazine by James Omeara where he talked about viewing this object in an eye piece. Well
I tried for years using each new scope I bought and also binoculars. I was not successful in viewing this
object in an eye piece.  I was really tickled when I was finally able to image the North America Nebula.
