NGC 7000 the North America Nebula (left) and IC 5070 the Pelican Nebula (right) in Cygnus near Deneb. This is a stack of 5 x 6 and 5 x 8 minute exposures at ISO 1600 with the filter-modified Canon 5D Mark II and through the Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED astrographic refractor, June 2, 2014 under clear but perpetual twiight skies.
The North America Nebula, NGC 7000, in Cygnus, taken with the new Canon EOS Ra factory-modified “astronomical” version of the Canon EOS R mirrorless camera. Taken as part of testing. This is a stack of 4 x 6-minute exposures, with LENR on and at ISO 1600, through the Astro-Physics Traveler 105mm f/6 apo refractor with the Hutech field flattener.
The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) with the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) to the right, and the bright star Deneb at upper right, all in Cygnus. The sparse star cluster NGC 6996 is embedded in the North America in "eastern Canada." The dark nebulas B353 and B352 (most prominent at top) are above the North America. This is a stack of 12 x 5-minute exposures with the Sharpstar 94EDPH at f/4.5 and the Canon R5 at ISO 800, taken as a test of the R5 for deep-sky imaging. The R5 is a stock camera, not filter-modified. Auto-guided with the Lacerta MGEN3 guider. Stacked, aligned and blended with Photoshop. Taken May 22, 2022, with the sky brightening with dawn twilight toward the end of the set. No filters were employed.
