North American Nebula OSC

Hello, I have been dipping my toes into astrophotography for a couple of months now. This is my first capture of NGC 7000 taken this July. Would love to get some more integration time of course, but i am happy with what my equipment is getting so far. I'm also enjoying the vibrance i am getting on objects by shooting with unmodified osc.

Equipment

* **Mount:** Star Adventurer 2I
* **Tripod:** Manfrotto 055
* **Lens:** Sigma 150-600 c @ 500mm F7.1 (should have stuck with F8, it is definitely the sweet spot for sharpness on that lens)
* **Camera:** Nikon D810

# Acquisition

* **Time/ Date:** July 11th 2026. Between 11:45 PM and 1:15 AM
