Description

This image is from the integration of 58 subs collected with a modded Nikon D800 on Sigma 180mm f/2.8 macro lens @ f/4. The subs were combined with PI and the result was retouched with PS.

About the subject (from Wiki): "The North America Nebula (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). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico.".
