NGC-7000 - North America Nebula
Alternative colour versions attached as well.
The images were made from 2 HSO narrowband bundles, of which one is 3h 40min and the other 4h 55min, taken in May & June 2023.
Image was rotated to point correctly North and for better observation of the 'North America' part of the Nebula.
he North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico. On October 24, 1786, William Herschel observing from Slough, England, noted a “faint milky nebulosity scattered over this space, in some places pretty bright.” The most prominent region was catalogued by his son John Herschel on August 21, 1829. It was listed in the New General Catalogue as NGC 7000, where it is described as a "faint, most extremely large, diffuse nebulosity.” (Wiki)
