Description

My first attempt with upgraded RA worm gear OPW-11. This is a test shot of a single 10 minute Unguided exposure on the Losmandy G11 Gemini II of NGC 7000.

It is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb. The shape resembles North America with the Gulf Of Mexico.

The nebula consists of interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen H II. IF the star is ionized by Deneb the nebula would be 1,800 light years distance. It's apparent size in the sky is 6 degrees.
