“A two-panel mosaic of the North American
Nebula (NGC 7000), which also shows a good
proportion of the Cygnus Wall - a cosmic
ridge that spans for about 20 light years. Using an Altair Astro
Hypercam 183C, I’m extremely pleased with the result since I
image from a light-polluted location.”

Dalia and I have
been enjoying the
dark skies of the Nevada desert for
years. When we took our first night
trip into territories untouched by
light pollution, we were completely
astonished by how many stars were
visible just one hour away from
the city. Las Vegas might be one of
most light-polluted cities in America,
but it’s surrounded by the desert!
That evening we took a couple of
photos with our point-and-shoot
camera, which were not great, but
we could see the Pleiades, known
as Messier 45, in one of them. Ever
since, we've been photographing
