North America Nebula Revisited

The North America and Pelican Nebula in the Constellation Cygnus the Swan. Composite image of 1.5 hours of data captured with the Jodrell Plank Observatory astromodded Canon 200d DSLR and the unmodded Canon 600d DSLR cameras 
 A Samyang 135mm lens was used on both cameras which were set to capture
one minute exposures at ISO800. The caneras were on a Star Adventurer
equatorial mount. The images from the two cameras were combined using
RegiStar software and processed using; Affinity Photo, GraXpert, StarnetGUI,FitsWork4, Topaz Denoise AI and GradientXterminator. Credit: Pip Stakkert

 "Our imaging technician, PipStakkert, re-worked the data to produce this new and improved image, which has much greater depth, stronger colours and fewer stars. A key factor in delivering this  photograph of NGC7000 within the summer Milky Way, was the availability of freeware GraXpert and Starnet GUI. The generosity of amateur astronomers and software developers in spending hours of their time creating such powerful software tools and making them available free to other astro-imagers is  astounding. Thank you very much! Thanks also to the magazines Sky at Night and Astronomy Now for highlighting the availability of  new astro-imaging software and for providing overviews of their application." - Kurt Thrust current Director of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
