Nebulosity is the astrophotographers dream. It has many
shapes and forms covering vast areas of the sky particularly
in association with the Milky Way.
On these pages we have the North American (and Pelican
nebulae). A Wide field image (left) shows both nebula sitting
in a rich starfield where the Milky Way runs through the
constellation of Cygnus.
Above we see of magnified image the nebula in HAlpha light .
Superemposed are a series of full moon images showing the
scale of the nebulosity. To the left an even more magnified
image of the “Gulf of Mexico” region in both HAlpha and OIII
light.
