The North American Nebula (NGC 7000)

210 subs @ 60" ea., for 3.5h total exposure
30 darks, 30 flats, 30 dark flats for callibration

Processing steps:
1) Weighted Batch Pre-processing
2) Dynamic Background Extraction (DBE) for removing background gradient
3) Spectrophotometric Color Calibration (SPCC)
4) Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch (GHS)
5) Noise Exterminator (color and luminance noise reduction) and Blur Exterminator (deconvolution and sharpening) by RC Astro
6) Starless image created with StarXTerminator by RC Astro
7) Bill Blanshan's StarReductionMethod3_V2 pixel math applied for star reduction

The Seagull Nebula, in the constellation Monoceros.

Only a few hours to get this shot in last night as we're pretty late in the season now. I got 2h 52m worth of time before it set below my neighbor's trees in the South West. I kinda wish I'd spent more time framing up Thor's Helmet a bit better, but I was worried that I'd push the Seagull too close to the outside and start getting coma on it, too.
