NGC 7000 Dark Structures

[Rodd]

My goal was to emphasize the foreground nature of this dark structure.  Its easy to have this dust cloud appear as background sky with a little clipping of the black point, which is often mistakenly done when the data contains a lot of noise.  FSQ 106 with .6x reducer and ASI 1600.  This is a center crop of a wider FOV.  9 hours using SHO palette.  about evenly distributed exposure times.  I would like to shoot this again with more aperture and bigger sensor.
