Description

Nord America Nebula (NGC7000)

The North America Nebula NGC 7000 is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). It is named because its shape resembles North America. The North America Nebula covers a region more than ten times the area of the full moon, but its surface brightness is low, so normally it cannot be seen with the unaided eye. Binoculars and telescopes with large fields of view approximately 3° will show it as a foggy patch of light under sufficiently dark skies.

We took that picture on 24. August 2023 on a beautiful clear sky.
