NGC7000 - North America Nebula

This is a stack of six exposures of 120" each @ ISO 1600 through a 60mm refractor f/6.2, 7Dmod on EQ6.

Heavy light pollution - sodium and mercury illumination from a nearby city (population 300k).

Nice Shot

Very nice .

Excellent shot.

Thank you for your kind words

Despite the description in my signature - I don't autoguide. Nor do I guide manually - the 370mm focal length I use is *very * forgiving, and the EQ6 is overkill for the few kilos I put on it.

I was wondering if anyone knew a CCD camera which does not require a computer, as I really don't see myself with extra cables, power sources and other software failures. I did find something of the sorts, but for autoguiding...

The only option i can think of is either a dedicated video camcorder or a camera capable of video . There is a gentleman here on the forum that took a video of the moon upclose and stacked the images and produced some of the best images of the moon i have ever seen . But this only works on planets and the moon . For DSO objects like nebs and galaxies you need longer exposures and video is not capable at this time that i know of to take such images .
