NGC7000, the North America Nebula, is located in the constellation of Cygnus. It is a very large area of emission nebula -- a cloud of superheated gas and dust -- extending some 2.5 degrees to the east of Deneb. It was discovered in the early 1890s during experiments in wide field astrophotography.
This image was taken through a narrowband (13nm) hydrogen-alpha filter. Details for the astro-geeks:

Been waiting to have a crack at this - couldn't wait for the moon to go away :) Three quarters of these subs were taken with a fat moon looking on, so I'm quite pleased really.
Only got half the loop in here (gets a bit faint out to the right), and I did have room on the left for Sharpless 264, but that didn't put in an appearance at all - so I cropped it!
This is the first iteration, others may follow. Or I may wait until the moon has gone and have a crack at 4 minute subs - difficult unguided on the equator though.
Don't ask me where the spikes came from - I haven't a clue. :)

This is old data but reprocessed using separate layers for DSO and stars. A definite improvement I think, considering it's just 16 minutes. This is back in the day (all of 8 months ago) when I couldn't get longer than 60 second subs no matter how hard I tried. Having said that, I haven't pointed my kit at the equator for a while, so we'll see! Looking forward to having another crack at this this year. :)

I'll probably re-do this object with a smaller refractor 'scope later - that will give me a sharper image and a wider field, more suitable for this large object.

Update Oct. 7, 2019 - A wide-field image of this area, shot simultaneously with the above and also showing the gravitationally interacting nearby "Hockey Stick' galaxy, can be found at the link attached here - www.flickr.com/photos/homcavobservatory/48859476636/
Object Details: Lying approximately 30 million light-years from Earth, 'The Whale Galaxy' (NGC 4631) is an edge-on barred spiral whose wedge-like shape gives rise to it's nickname. It is gavitationally interacting with the nearby dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 4627 (visible directly below the Whale in this image) and contains a central starburst (i.e. a region of extremely intense star formation).
Similar in size to our own Milky Way galaxy, visually it spans about 15 x 3 arcminutes in our sky (i.e. lengthwise, approximately have the diameter of the full moon). Glowing at magnitude 9.8 in the constellation Canes Venatici, it is detectable in small scopes as a thin sliver of light and it makes for a spectacular object in larger instruments.
Image Details: The attached was taken by Jay Edwards at the HomCav Observatory on the evening of April 6, 2019 using an 8-inch, f/7 Criterion newtonian reflector and a Canon 700D DSLR tracked on a Losmandy G-11 mount running a Gemini 2 control system. This in turn was guided using PHD2 to control a ZWO ASI290MC planetary camera / auto-guider in an 80mm f/6 Celestron 'short-tube' refractor.
This is my first attempt at imaging this object, and as such is a test consisting of a (relatively speaking) very short stack totaling only 45 minutes of exposure (not including darks, flats & bias frames). Although I was fairly pleased with the result, it contains more noise in the outer regions than I would prefer and I will therefore look forward to re-imaging this object in the future using a longer total exposure.
Stacked in DeepSkyStacker and processed using PixInsight and PaintShopPro, as presented here it has been resized down to HD resolution and the bit depth has been lowered to 8 bits per channel.

2010-02-07 Orion Nebula - Third Attempt
12 x 45 second exposures and 3 x 30 second exposures stacked into one image using Deep Sky Stacker
One of my first attempts at stacking expsoures. They aren't very long exposures and not a big total exposure time but I'm happy with the detail captured around the core of the nebula.
Shot with a Canon T1i at prime focus, ISO 200 with automatic dark frame subtraction on a 10" Meade SN-10-AT telescope. 1016mm F4.
My very first astrophotography trial
I took 5sec exposured images, aligned and stacked. I tried to use DeepSkyStacker but then when I find some better ways on GalacticFool web page I did by myself at Photoshop.

If you can see, the Orion Nebula is also visible in some sense, which makes me very very happy.
