The North America and Pelican nebulae

My wide field an image of the North America nebula and the Pelican nebula taken with my Canon 1300D DSLR camera with a Rokinon 135mm prime lens at f/2.  Settings were 50s and 800ISO. The camera was mounted on my star Adventure 2i pro tracking mount. I captured 15 images before clouds came in, 15 flat frames, and 15 dark frames all stacked in Sequator and processed in GraXpert, StarNet ++ and then finished off in Gimp 2.10. I used an intervalometer to control the camera and a Bahtinov mask to focus on a bright star. The image was captured under Bortle 5 skies in Loughor.
