North American Nebula

On July 16, 2023 we had a nice clear night with no moon. Perfect for capturing the North American Nebula, Caldwell 20.

North American Nebula Shot July 16, 2023 from our driveway

I shot with a Canon 90D, mounted on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer 2I, and a Williams Optics RedCat51 250 mm telescope.

I stacked 130 30sec exposures for a total time of 65 minutes.

I used James Ritson’s astrophotography macos in Affinity Photo for the stretching and color. I really did not change the color very much. Need to play more!!
