Description

The Cygnus Wall is a small portion of the North America Nebula, NGC 7000, located about 2600 light years from our solar system and visible in the constellation Cygnus. This section  would be considered the "Mainland and Eastern Gulf coast of Mexico" in the nebula. The dark Nebula in the upper right-hand corner is LDN 395 which, in a wider view, forms the Gulf of Mexico. 

This image combines 30 hours of SHO data (10/10/10) processed in the Hubble Pallet. RGB stars were pulled from an LRGB image of the same object.
Data was collected by the SDAA TARO observatory located in southeastern San Diego County.
