The Cygnus Wall Nebula
NGC 7000 in Cygnus
is a huge nebular complex known as the North America Nebula. This field of view features a small piece of the region called the Cygnus Wall.
The wall itself runs along the bottom of the image, and relates to the region of NGC 7000 which is reminiscent of the shapes of Central America.
While all of NGC 7000 is an emission nebula, its greatest concentration of star birth is occurring within the wall.
This version uses the Hubble Palette of Sulfur II (R), Hydrogen alpha (G), and Oxygen III (B) narrowband data.
Thanks go out to my friend Bill Snyder for allowing me to process this data, acquired at Sierra Remote Observatories.
