Description

North America Nebula catch near Castelbuono (PA), in the Sicilian Madonie Regional Natural Park during the XX Madonie Star Party organized by me in the name of ORSA Pa, a cultural association.

NGC 7000 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.
