Johannes,

I posted my pic of The North American Nebula so you could see it.

Subject: [digital_astro] New image: North America Nebula

Yesterday I was short of sleep and took a lot of images from NGC7000
in this warm midsummer night.

The first results with 5 min at ISO800 and mag 5 sky in white light
were disappointing, as almost no nebula showed up and the background
was grey.

So I tried the Lumicon 2" UHC filter with >95 transmission in H-beta,
O3 and H-alpha. 10 min shots at ISO1600 resulted in a blue nebula
with some red lines, but it was there!
See the details and result after a lot of processing, color shifting
and blurring with masks to reduce the noise:

Later this week I will include the filtered raws to my 10D review.

Hope to get some more efforts for comparison on this object from you
(Rick, Mike, Mark?)
