Description

After long cloudy days, I had a chance to shoot more Bode & Cigar yesterday. There was a chance that Aurora could block my view and ruin the image. In that case, I'd be shooting the Aurora. But the reality did not match the hype and I shot Bode & Cigar. Around 2 AM, I realized North America Nebula (NGC 7000) was around 30 degrees. So I decided to give it a test shot before I leave.

Here is only 20 minutes of exposure. Without any calibration frames. Just alignment and a bit of a quick processing. Of course, I'll turn back to this region of the sky as soon as the conditions get better.
