Description

NGC 7000 is known as the North America Nebula due to its similarity in shape to the geographical outline of its namesake continent.

The North America Nebula is an emission nebula found in the Cygnus constellation, glowing due to the ionisation of interstellar gas caused by radiation being emitted by hot, young stars.

NGC 7000 is located 1,700 light years away and measures 100 light years across.

I continue to be impressed by the Samyang 135 camera lens, especialy when used in conjunction with an Astro camera and filters
