The Beast in the East

[AbsolutelyN]

NGC7000 was one of the first deep sky objects I ever captured as a teen from my heavily light polluted back garden on good old hypered scotch chrome 400 with its extended red sensitivity. Back then I could have never imagined being able to take an image such as this. With the North American Nebular now rising low in the east I had to have a quick go and when the first HA sub appeared on screen all I could see was a huge dragon head.

Nicely composed! Also, I like the balance of color.

This image would be considered auspicious in China, "The Land of the Red Dragon."
