Pelican Nebula zoom in series and the scale in a sky
I have shot many targets with several focal lengths. Due to that, I will publish some of my material as image sets, with a different field of view and level of details. The fractal nature of our universe stands out nicely in this way and it will make the orientation more easy.
Many times, it's difficult to understand the image scale of astronomical images.
Therefore I have added a "Moon circle" in the images to show the angular scale in the sky. The full Moon has an angular size of ~30 arc minutes, that's equal to ~0,5 degrees.
Be sure to click for a full size image!
Note. a circle, size of the full moon, as a scale.

The North America and Pelican nebulae can be seen at upper left corner.
