North America and Pelican nebulas
Taken on July 25th 2026 in Argenteuil, France. 20 x 300s frames for a total of 1h40m. It was a bit windy at times so 6 more frames had to be discarded due to poor tracking. That was the first time I got to use my new camera as well as a filter wheel. Mistakes were made and lessons learned!

Mount: ZWO AM5N
Camera: ZWO ASI2600MC, Gain 100
Filter wheel: ZWO EFW 5x50
Autofocuser: ZWO EAF
Filter: Optolong L-enHance

Calibration frames: 20 darks, 20 bias
