North America Nebula (NGC 7000) in true color

1

This is the true color version of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) i posted 2 days ago. You can get information on this celestial object in my previous post: https://steemit.com/photography/@clodoweg/north-america-nebula-ngc-7000-with-hubble-palette

To take this photo i used the following setup:
Scope: TSOptics 80/350
Mount: AZEQ6
Camera: Atik One 6.0

The total exposure is around 2 hours in july 2016. As my camera is black & white i use RGB filters to build the chrominance layer, and stack several photo on each filter to maximize signal over noise.

13 photos of 5 min flitering Luminance except UV
4 photos of 5 min filtering Red
4 photos of 5 min filtering Blue
4 photos of 5 min filtering Green

I used the software Prism 10 to manage the capture, the pre-treatment (Removing offset, dark and flat). The stacking and the post-treatment was done with Pixinsight and at the end Photoshop.
