Description

SVBONY SV555 APO + SVBONY SV605CC. Approx. 6 hours of nebula data, plus 1 hour of UV/IR star data. The data was stacked and processed using StackingWizard and AstroWizard.

Background Introduction

This was my first attempt at capturing an emission nebula. I collected around 6 hours of data on NGC 7000 during the first night. After a weather-forced break, I returned for a second night and captured another hour through a UV/IR filter, using a homemade diffraction spike ring specifically for the stars. I then combined the stars from the second session with the nebula data from the first. A fun experiment and a lot learned along the way!
