The Cygnus Wall & The North American Nebula

Description

As I continue my never ending quest with my Cygnus Mosaic I ended up reprocessing some data from last year, captured from my backyard observatory in fremont, Michigan using QHY23 Mono CCD on Takahashi E-180.

Also known as NGC7000 or Caldwell 20, this cloud of ionized Hydrogen gas lies approximately 1800 light years away from us in the Constelation Cygnus. Containing some very interesting areas such as this Cygnus Wall and The North American Nebula seen here.
