The North America and Pelican Nebulae, NGC7000 and IC5070 in Cygnus.
This image is a stack of 12 eight minute exposures shot through a Hydrogen-alpha filter.
The exposures were acquired using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a Tele Vue TV-60 60mm f/6 refractor
equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer, yielding an effective focal length of 280mm.
The exposures were calibrated, defect-corrected and stacked using AIP4WIN.
This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1392x1040.
