North America Nebula

Here are the other targets I was hoping to image in the Hill Country: the North America and Pelican Nebulas (Nebulae?). They are at the center of the image. You can see the shape of North America, I hope, and the Pelican (not shaped very much like a pelican) where the north Atlantic would be. The bright star to the right is Deneb. In the upper left is M39, an open cluster. Around about where Ohio or Pennsylvania would be in the North America nebula is another open cluster called NGC 6997.

This image was taken with the same equipment as the Sagittarius Field. This was 38x60" processed in Nebulosity and touched up a bit more in Canon's DPP. A satellite apparently flew through the field. The trail is not apparent in any of the sub-images without stretching, and I did not stretch them. Maybe someday I'll re-process and find it.
