Description

North America & the Pelican

The North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and the nearby Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), located in the constellation Cygnus, are parts of the same interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen (H II region).

This region is estimated to be about 1800 light years away, and 100 light years across.

I used about 20 Frames per Channel for this Mosaic.
