Description North American and Pelican Nebula. These regions are at the top of the constellation Cygnus. This picture shows both of the nebulas with the Pelican nebula on the right and the North American nebula at the center.
Processing This image was made by combining 7 pictures in Images Plus. Each picture was taken at ISO 1600, with a 4 minute exposure, through the 70-200mm F4.0L Canon Lens set at 200mm. The images were combined using a Median combine function, with a dark frame subtracted to reduce noise, and processed with the "Digital Development" function to reduce the sky glow and accentuate the nebulas.
