Michigan, USA
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ-106 refractor
“Above is my deepest ever narrowband image of NGC 7000, in part it has helped by having the use of some better equipment. For starters, I had a significant upgrade to my monochromatic CCD, which now has a heating ring to combat the dew when we have very high humidity (most of the time it’s around 80 per cent here in western Michigan) and a large seven-position filter wheel. For this image I used the Chroma 7nm H-alpha, SII and OIII filters, and I am extremely happy with the detail and contrast these filters have helped me achieve. For the focusing I am using the Optec Gemini focusing rotator, the best I have experienced to date.”
