My first attempt at astrophotography: the North America Nebula and
surrounding environs. Canon 400d (modified: hot mirror removed)
piggybacked with 50mm canon lens. 5x150 seconds at f/3.2 iso 400,
stacked in Deep Sky Stacker.
Some post-processing done in Photoshop (curves, levels), but I don't
know enough to do anything more advanced.
