Description

Here is my Hubble palette SHO version of the Cygnus Wall.
This nebula is part of the larger North America Nebula (also known as NGC 7000 and C 20), a gas and dust emission complex located near Deneb (alpha-Cyg), the brightest star of Cygnus. The discovery of the North America Nebula is attributed to the astronomer William Herschel and constitutes, together with the nearby Pelican Nebula, a single nebular complex located about 1960 light years from us.
