NGC7000 from a Bortle class 7 sky

[Avdhoeven]

Image of the North America Nebula (NGC7000) taken with a Nikon D810a and a WO Spacecat 51. This image was taken from my backyard from a light-polluted Bortle Class 7 sky. I was quite happy to see this result with 'only' 76x180s exposures, totaling 3.8 hours. It was also my first experience using the Asiair. What a relief! So nice to be able to work stand-alone.

That's a cracking image! Did you use any filters?

From one Spacecat owner to another...brilliant!! 👍

Was wondering about filter use too.

No filters used  I just received an Optolong L-pro so will try that next time

I did some further processing and also took some (only 3x900s) Ha data with my QSI with the spacecat and combined this data. I like this result even more:
