Deneb and North America Nebula area, taken September 4, 2007 from home. Stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures at ISO800 with Canon 20Da and 135mm L-lens at f/2.8. Field equals 7° bino field. Sharper focus than Aug 15 attempt. Two of the images were taken later after refocusing and reframing and were far off register but CS3 "Align Layers" registered them precisely.
North America Nebula NGC 7000 and Pelican Nebula IC 5070 (to the right) for stack of 4 x 14 minute exposures with Borg 77mm apo refractor at f/4 and Canon 20Da camera at ISO 400. Taken on a superb night, Sept. 11, 2007.
NGC 7000 with 101mm Borg apo refractor at f/4.1 and Canon 20Da camera at ISO400 for stack of 3 x 10 minute exposures. Taken on a very warm night in July 2007, though in-camera dark frame eliminated most noise. Taken with HEQ5 mount autoguided with ST402. Some odd trailing in Dec.
