Description

A lot is going on in this star dense area. In this work I primarily wanted to image stars and dust areas around North America nebula. What I want you to note in this FOV is a dust lane going through the entire image from top to bottom. In the bottom part of it reside well known and frequently imaged North America and Pelican nebulae. In the top part there is just dust against the background of stars right now. Some day new emission nebulae will probably emerge around there, when newborn stars will annihilate the dust and excite the hydrogen around.

On the left side of the image you can also see Sh2-119, lots of other interesting small objects are scattered around.
