Description

NGC7000, the North American Nebula. Mostly just testing/troubleshooting some of my gear so I re-shot this one. It turned out really well. The 'Wall' is located down the left side of the picture and forms part of Texas and Mexico. What you can't see is the sister object, the Pelican, over to the right. It is believed this massive gas cloud is ionized by the star, Deneb. This is a tough object to break out without some type of filter visually.
