| The North America and Pelican Nebulas - Narrow Band Hubble Palette 2-Panel Mosaic The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico. It is sometimes incorrectly called the "North American Nebula". |

| As you can see from the zooms to the right, the Herbig Haro object 555 clearly shows gas jets at the tip of the column. The SX-Trius 814 camera provide a great resolution. With its' Sony ICX814 SuperHAD ExView chip a pixel size of 3.69x3.69 micrometers. Combined with the Takahashi FSQ-EDXiii refractor and a .73x reducer (resultant focal length of 385mm), this results in a very optimal size of 1.97"/pixel. |
