Astrophotography from a tripod

Milky way between Deneb and M 39.

The North America nebula (NGC 7000), an emission nebula that glows in the light of the hydrogene alpha line at a wavelength of 650 nm, is invisible due to the poor red sensitivity of this film type. I did't know that when I purchased this film. The bright star at the bottom is Deneb. At the top left of the center shine the brightest stars of the open cluster M39.

Date: October 1995

Lens: f=135 mm, f/1,8
