Description

This picture depicts part of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20). The narrowband Ha/Sii/Oii data were collected using a Takahashi Epsilon 180ED on Bique's MyT. Every sub is 180s long. The lights were then combined as SHO --> RGB, i.e. the Hubble palette.

About the subject (from wiki):

The 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 remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.
