Description:

Ever since bought the Ha 12nm filter, I've wanted to photograph this famous beginner's target. Today, on a cold and windy morning, I struggled in harsh conditions to get this beautiful image. I could've done better with framing this nebula, but I had no idea how big the North American Nebula actually was. Even with a full frame sensor, you can fit the whole thing in your frame at 300mm focal length. 182s x 10 ISO 800 F/5 10 Darks 15 Flats 10 Bias
