Description

Rarely photographed due to its low luminosity, this nebula presents fascinating characteristics. It is located next to the North America Nebula in the Cygnus constellation.

Represented by the red/orange color , a weak hydrogen signal and a very weak sulfur signal surround an extremely weak oxygen signal, represented by the blue color. The clearest nights with the least moon presence were all used for the oxygen filter. The integration times of each filter were also adjusted accordingly.
