NGC 7000 the north american nebula

[moonshinegnomie]

between clouds,high humidity and heat i havent had a lot of chances for astrophotography in the last month but last night/this morning i was able to do some

this is NGC 7000 also known as the north american nebula. located about 2600 light years away it spans an area 10x the full moon

I used a 344 mm focal length lens (astrotech 72ed ii) on a sony a6000. its 4 hours worth of 5 minute exposures at iso 800. I used an optolong l-enhance filter to block a lot of ligh tpollution and interference from the moon as well as enhance the nebula.
