Due to my less than ideal local horizon, long imaging sessions are pretty much out of the question. The maximum I can achieve on any one night is about 90 minutes on a given object. Over three nights, I was able to capture 2.4 hours of data on the North America Nebula. To get a really decent image requires about double that integration time, and I'm hoping to capture more as the weather permits. Here are tow images so far, one in the obligatory H II red, and the other a fanciful pseudo-Hubble palette. The Hubble mix (courtesy Siril) rather blew the highlights and added lots of noise for some reason, but it's an interesting contrast to the original image.
