Last project I was working on in April and May, capturing a nebula with the L-eNhance with no moon in the sky. at ISO 1600. I tried going out in June, but the atmosphere wasn't cooperating with the quality that I wanted to get, and the Sky Gods were no long cooperating when work was the next two. Total integration time is 8.25 hours.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.
On October 24, 1786, William Herschel observing from Slough, England, noted a “faint milky nebulosity scattered over this space, in some places pretty bright.” The most prominent region was catalogued by his son John Herschel on August 21, 1829. It was listed in the New General Catalogue as NGC 7000, where it is described as a "faint, most extremely large, diffuse nebulosity.”
As always, all comments welcome and thanks for looking,
