Cygnus Wall in NGC 7000
Cygnus Wall in NGC 7000
After a long spring of terrible weather I finally got a couple nights of NGC 7000 low in the sky. Cygnus Wall here is such a nice target with so much data that it’s hard to resist getting to it early in the season. This image got some longer sub times with really good guiding and testing the new Photon Cage eliminating tilt and backfocus issues… and pretty happy with the results.
