Description

This is the North America nebula region in the constellation Cygnus and covers the area of 4x the size of the full moon in the sky. This patch of ionized hydrogen lies about 1800 ly from Earth. This image was taken from an OSC camera with 2 Antlia narrowband filters.  One filter passes Ha and OIII and the other passes SII and HB. I separated the channels from each master image & recombined them using the SHO pallet.
