2023-10-19 NGC 7000 North American Nebula

My first attempt at capturing the North American Nebula.

The greater Cygnus region is quickly becoming my favorite area to photograph. NGC 7000 here is located just by Deneb, the bright star to the right, and is only a small but prominent part of the region. The dark gas/dust clouds especially makes images taken from here particularly dynamic.
