Description

The North America emission nebula 1800 light years away in constellation Cygnus resembles the continent of North America. Also known as NGC 7000, the southern portion resembling Mexico and Central America is called the Cygnus Wall and contains the highest concentration of star forming regions in the entire NA nebula which covers an area approximately equal to 4 full moons across the sky. The image also contains a small part of the Pelican Nebula to the right edge in center of the image; one can see what appear to be the two eyes of the pelican.

This is a false color composite of 32 hours of exposure using Ha, Oiii and Sii filters.
