Description

The Cygnus Wall as a part of the North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) in the constellation Cygnus imaged with the optolong L extreme, (duo-narrowband) filter...

This deep space object is an emission nebula consisting of interstellar clouds of ionized hydrogen, (HII) and much smaller portions of other gases, (OII, SII and others)...

It also contains dark regions of dense interstellar dust.... 

This ridge is approximately 20 light years long and is a huge star forming region.

My Image contains only a portion of this giant nebula that is located approximately 1600 light years from the Earth.

1.6Hr. Exposure captured from my backyard using a widefield refractor telescope!!
