NGC 7000 the north america nebula

[moonshinegnomie]

NGC the north america nebula a clod of ionized hydrogen about 2600 light years away. the nebula covers an area 3x the size of the full moon but its surface brightness is so low it cant be seen without binoculars or a telescope
3.5 hours of exposure time last night in my backyard.
the redder one is the natural colors the yellower one is using a process similar to what the hubble uses to enhance details. (called the SHO pallette)
