Image Details:

I live in a bortel 4-5 area. During some clear evenings I captured NGC 7000 or the North American Nebula using a Radian 75mm astrograph refractor, narrowband filters and then processed in Photoshop. The north American nebula is located in the constellation Cygnus at a distance from Earth of approximately 2500 light years. Mostly made up of ionized hydrogen gas heated by hot stars in the region.
