Figured I would try processing the North American Nebula, NGC 7000 (Cygnus Wall), in color using the Chroma 2" luminance filter and the Radian Triad Quad band 2" filter, also as a luminance filter, with the stars added.

The ZWO Red 2" filter was not my first choice, but it was the only red filter. I am Hoping to soon replace the remaining ZWO RGB filters with Chroma.

Tracking is slightly off, guess it's back to the guide scope for longer exposures.
