North America and Pelican Nebulae – NGC 7000 & IC 5070

Two of the most iconic emission nebulae in the northern summer sky, in the constellation Cygnus, photographed from the terrace of my home. Acquired in dual narrow-band and processed in Foraxx palette to highlight the differences between regions dominated by H-alpha hydrogen emission and those dominated by OIII oxygen emission.
