NGC 7000 – Cygnus Wall

8/17/2023

This is the Cygnus Wall; it is part of the North American Nebula and is referred to as NGC 7000.

I imaged this over the nights of 12,13 and 16th of August 2023.  The wall spans about 20 light years and is approximately 1500 light years from Earth.  The wall exhibits the most concentrated star formations in the nebula.
