Description

Probably my finest image of an emission nebula region till date, this image of North America Nebula (NGC 7000/Sh2-117), Pelican Nebula (IC5067 AND IC5070) and the Clamshell Nebula(Sh2-119) is an HaORGB combination of data, shot from my relatively basic setup.
While the region especially around the North America Nebula is extensively imaged, the neighbouring Clamshell region is comparitively rarely imaged, although it lies just a few degrees off it's more famous counterpart. The clamshell is an H-II region surrounding the mag 5 star 68 Cygni and is sufficiently bright, though dimmer than the much brighter NGC7000 region.
