Description

This is a large view of the North American and Pelican nebula region. Both of these nebula are part of a very large complex of interstellar material that extends well beyond the field covered by this image. This vast cloud is approximately 2600ly away and seen in the constellation Cygnus.  This is a first light project for me with a new Askar FRA500 scope and it's F3.9 reducer paired with my QHY410C full frame camera. It would sure be a lot easier with a full frame mono cam but I may have to win the lottery for one of those. I still think this rig will be a lot of fun in the future as I continue to learn how to use it better.
