NA and Pelican 2021
This fabulous region of Cygnus is a big glowing hydrogen cloud, invisible to the naked eye but revealed in larger telescopes and in images like this from small scopes when filtered for the H-alpha wavelength. I'm happy with the improvement from my last serious imaging attempt 3 years ago.
Tech stuff: Borg 55FL astrograph at f/3.6/ZWO ASI1600MC/IDAS LPS-V4 filter/iOptron CubePro mount. 8 Second exposures unguided captured in SharpCap Livestacks; total integration time 132 minutes. From my Bortle 7 yard 10 miles north of NYC. Captured August 1st.
