Taken with the new Starfield Optics 8″ astrograph and Starizona Nexus reducer/corrector to make it an F3 light collecting beast! Also used, a QHY268M camera and Optolong Ha-R-G-B filters.
This image focuses on the Cygnus Wall. The Cygnus Wall is a portion of a much larger nebula called the “North America Nebula” located around 2600 light years from Earth.
The hydrogen clouds in these nebulas are lit by stars showering ionized radiation on them.
Processed in PixInsight. Imaged from my backyard.
