Description

The area just north of NGC 7000 is a complex mix of Ha emitting nebulosity covered by a network of dark nebulae and a few bright reflection nebulae. The area is not that often imaged, maybe because there are no major iconic objects there, and the nebulosity is relatively weak unless you give it 17+ hours at f/2, but certainly there is a lot going on. The bright patch of nebulosity at the southern border of the image is the northern tip of NGC 7000, aka The North America Nebula. I have not suppressed the blinding brightness of NGC 7000 to give an indication of the relative difference in brightness between these areas of nebulosity.

This is a two-panel mosaic with about 50% overlap from my Samyang 135 piggybacking on my dual-RASA rig. I planned the mosaic for the RASAs and the little Samyang had to get what it got.
