NGC7000 and IC5070/5067 - North American Nebula and the Pelican Nebula
Knowing that this is a predominately red target I wanted to get plenty of time on it. It just squeezes in the decent field of the Zenithstar and just extends into the crap stars on the edges. I went ahead and cropped it so that some of the bad stars are still in it to try and give it some space. I'm not sure if this is a personal best, but I'm also very happy with this one particularly considering it was with the stock cam.
