North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). The image is a 3-tile mosaic taken on 3 consecutive nights. Each tile is a stack of 8x15-minutes exposures. They were taken within the city, and under a hazy sky that was awash with urban light pollution. Under such conditions the narrowband Ha filter is a “must have” item.
