On this page I collect my observations of the galactic emission nebula NGC
7000, called North America Nebula, in the constellation
Cygnus/Swan.
Introduction
The galactic emission nebula NGC 7000, called North America Nebula,
in the constellation Cygnus/Swan is, according to Stoyan, a "faint
field of dull glimmering nebulae in the rich fields of the Milky Way." Best
conditions are necessary for an observation, and therefore this did not work
for me in the summer of 2016. In the fall of 2019, I had, at least, a hunch...
Size: 1.3° (Stoyan)
Distance: 2,000 light years (Stoyan)
