North America Nebula

Lights from ... the North America Nebula

It is my very first attempt at capturing NGC7000 nebula, in the Cygnus Constellation.

This diffuse nebula is one the best targets in the night sky that can be easily accessible to amateur astronomers, because it covers a wide field of about 2 degrees, very close to the bright star Deneb.

This picture of 30 minutes integration time was taken in May 2016 with a standard telephoto lens.
