Cygnus-Cepheus Deep Field

A 10-minute tracked exposure revealing the star-dense border region between the constellations Cygnus and Cepheus in Zselic, Hungary. Prominently featured in the lower-center is the bright reddish glow of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) alongside the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), split by dark cosmic dust lanes. Near the top left, the faint emission glow of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) region in Cepheus emerges through dense star fields, captured wide open at f/2 on Fujifilm Superia 400. Tracked with a guided SkyWatcher AZ-GTi mount.
