Description

NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star).

NGC 7000 and the nearby Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) are parts of the same interstellar cloud of ionized hydrogen (H II region). Between the Earth and the nebula complex lies a band of interstellar dust that absorbs the light of stars and nebulae behind it, and thereby determines the shape as we see it. The distance of the nebula complex is not precisely known, nor is the star responsible for ionizing the hydrogen so that it emits light. If the star inducing the ionization is Deneb, as some sources say, the nebula complex would be about 1,800 light-years' distance, and its absolute size (6° apparent diameter on the sky) would be 100 light-years.

The nebula was discovered by William Herschel, from Slough, England, on October 24, 1786 or by his son John Herschel before 1833.

Four panel mosaic, 15% overlap each panel 4 x 300 seconds in Ha. Taken under almost full moon.

Turn out pretty well I think!
