Phillips Astro is an amateur astrophotography newsletter that walks through individual deep-sky targets, such as the North America and Pelican Nebulae, LDN 939, and the Squid Nebula, in wide-field mosaics. Each issue explains what the structures are, how they were imaged, and the processing choices, including narrowband palettes and integration times.
