The North America Nebula
It’s remarkable how far small scopes and semi-automated processing have advanced. I am loving the new Dwarf 3 software update. This image is a scheduled mosaic of the North America Nebula using the D3. The image is 140 x 45s mosaic frames. I stacked it in Megastack and did initial processing in Stellar Studio—both provided woth the D3. Final processing was in PS Express. I’m quite pleased with the result.
