The North American Nebula

This is the North American Nebula. Also known as Caldwell 20. I have photographed it once before, this was my second attempt. This time I had higher acquisition, and used different editing techniques and the Foraxx palette. It is an emission nebula that was discovered by William Herschel in 1786. It is one of the brighter nebulae in the sky with a magnitude of 5.0, and is located in the constellation Cygnus.
