Land of Ice and Fire North American Nebula NGC7000

[Adam J]

A wide feild shot of the North America and Pelican Nebula complex in SHO with HOO stars.

All subs taken between Aug 23 and Oct 23.

Total intergration: 16 hours with about 5hour 20mins per channel using my ASI1600mm pro, Astrodon 5nm filters and FMA180 refractor.

I was quite happy with the amount of detail that I got at this focal length of only 180mm with the SA GTI holding the rig nice and steady.

I think I may add more SII in future if I get the chance as alot of the highlight detail is very dependent on it and I feel it was the limiting factor in processing.

Hope that I did not take it too far in the processing and that you like it.

Thanks for looking,

Adam

Processing looks pretty much perfect to my eyes.

Star colours, the nebula, the dark dust, its all there. Its a stunning image!

One thing I have wondered about this is if anyone know what the little bright nebula is halfway down the right hand edge of the frame?
