North America Nebula with Camera
I experimented with a new set up last night and captured three targets. The first is the region surrounded the North American Nebula and Pelican Nebula. The camera I used is a Sony Alpha 6300 mirrorless (unmodified) along with a Samyang 135mm manual focus f/2 lens. No telescope!
