Hi everyone.
It's Saturday morning and I can take my time, sit down and process some of the pictures I have acquired the last days. Coffee in one hand and my Imac mouse in the other.
We can not see this nebula from the ground with your eyes. One needs a special filter it seems. Easy to spot, huge and as it's right above our head in Cygnus:
The north america nebula. It's right there. Next to the star.

Canon 17-40mmL and 20D mod on Kenko mount. 1 frame of +/- 1 minute. @ISO 800. Lens is at F4.
