NGC7000 RASA 8

The North America Nebula, NGC 7000, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. Above is the Pelican Nebula (enlarged on the 2nd image). Together the area of this nebula reaches 5 full moons across and can be seen with the unaided eye in a dark sky location.

This target was shot with using a high speed, wide field 400mm telescope coupled with a 26 Megapixel cooled camera from my light polluted backyard.
