Equipment Details:

Sony a6000 with IR + visible spectrum modification. Kolari Visible + H-alpha on-lens filter. Sky Watcher Star Adventurer tracker.

Post-processing Details:

Two tracked frames of 45 seconds each stacked in Sequator. One untracked frame of 45 seconds for the foreground, tripod in same location. Blended in Photoshop.

Image Details:

The North America Nebula setting in the northwest last night. (And battling with cloud cover.) This is a DSO nightscape: incorporating both the foreground landscape and a deep space object in one photo. It's not a composite but a blend, i.e., the sky frames and foreground frames were all shot in immediate sequence, in a single camera orientation, from one location.
