Actually, IC5068 is would be better described as the Carribean Sea, with the part of Mexico and Central America to the left.  This is a very very complex cloud "complex" that holds all sorts of astronomical wonders.  Star-formation is abundant and scattered throughout the frame and, as many know, well beyond this field of view.  As far as Milky Way features, the relatively close 2,600 Ly distance (given to the NAN, but maybe a bit closer for some of the clouds here) is able to greatly reduce visual interference from stars and the field relatively free of dense starfields that are seen in the lower left quadrant.  I did very little star reduction in this image.

I thought I would try this part of the broader field to see how it might work in a larger scale mosaic for the future.  The issue for me is that the North America Nebula (NAN) is quite bright, so it is important to know if the broader area has enough to offer when brought into the field along with the NAN.  If you look at the upper left corner you can see the southern extent of the Cygnus Wall and I think the stretch here works.  What I like is the criss-crossing pattern of clouds seen clearly at diffferent distances, thereby giving some apparent depth to the image.  These features are also large, which I think can work with a larger field view.  The fact that the density of stars seems to increase with the depth of view (i.e. those areas not obstructed in the foreground by molecular cloud) also adds to the depth of field.  For the NAN and nearby Pelican, this depth is best seen in the areas where there is overlaying clouds in the southern extent of the NAN.  This is a continuation of that.

Not happy with what appears to me to be a brownish cast in the bottom left quadrant and bottom right edge.  I tried to re-calibrate with SPCC late (using a trick I have developed) and also GraXpert but non wanted to remove it.  So maybe it is real.  We will see as I collect more data...
