The North American Nebula

|
| Telescope | Mount | Exposure | Film | Date |
| Takahashi FS102 at F6 | Losmandy G11 | 90 minutes | Kodak Supra 400 | September 2002 |
| Taken from my back yard in Wells, Maine, the North American is in the center of the sky in early September as twilight ends. The nebula is invisible to all but long exposure photography. A single 90 minute exposure on Kodak Supra 400 using a Hutech Light Polution Supression filter. The LPS filter allowed a sufficiently dense enough negative that only minor processing was required in Photoshop. | ||||
