Comment : It's not many weeks left of this astronomy season. Desperately I looking fore something exciting to photograph. In Northeast very low to the horizon I see that the nebula NGC 7000 climbing up. When I start photographing it it's only 19 degrees above the horizon. But it's a very big nebula with its 120 x 100 arc min size, bright too with magnitude 4. Nebulas is almost impossible to photograph when there are heavy light pollution without narrow band filter. This photo isn't very nice, but I can take a new later when out on a dark place. This was also the first photo that I processed with desaturate tool in Siril of the over exposed stars and after that color calibrated the stars.
