NGC 7000 wide field

[Lester]

Hi all, this region has interested me for some time, and living at -35 degrees where it only gets to about 15 degrees above the northern horizon made it more of a challenge.

This image was taken with a 50mm lens at f3.2 with Astro 40D camera at ISO 400. It is a combination of 16 x 4 minute exposures. I think I could have used longer exposures to bring out the detail better.

Next to NGC 7000 is the Pelican Nebula with the brighter Gama Cygnus Nebula towards the upper left corner. The northern horizon is at the bottom left of the image.

Comments welcome.

That's a nice image Lester, really shows the size of the N. American neb very well.... I think you're right about the longer subs... very well done on capturing this so well....

Hi Jordan and thanks for your comments. I did a reprocess of this image and IMO improved on the overall colour. On a closer look I was surprised to be able to see the Cocoon Nebula.
