NGC 7000 - DSLR Collaboration with Concordavirus

[lime kestrel]

@vague gate and myself combined our NGC 7000 data for better SNR. The combined result was much better than one of our single stacks. Tried doing a light and natural process here. Thanks for doing this, I had fun.

Concordavirus data:

SWSA 2i, Samyang 135mm f2, Canon M5 modded
3.5 hours 107x 120s, ISO 800, f2.4, Bortle 5.

My data:

Modified ZWO TC40, ZWO PE200 pier extension, unguided ISGP, unfiltered/unmodified Canon 60D, Samyang 135mm f2.
Acquisition: 194x 1min40s 6.8hrs, ISO 1600, F/4
Bortle 4.
