The North America Nebula is a large emission nebula that can be found in the constellation of the swan: Cygnus. Just like most other famous nebulae in the night sky, NGC 7000 got its name from its shape, which reminds us of the continent of North America. Central America is also part of it, it actually makes the most popular section of this object: The Cygnus Wall.
This was captured with my small refractor telescope from our Las Vegas backyard, using narrowband filters to block out light pollution.
Equipment used:
- Telescope: 75mm refractor
- Camera: 61 MegaPixel QHY600M
- Mount: 10Micron GM1000HPS
- Filters: 3nm Chroma
We used 3 filters for this object, so you will receive the master files for:
- Hydrogen Alpha
- Oxygen III
- Sulfur II
