Information
The above image is an area within NGC 7000 ( the North American Nebula ). The section Seen above is called the wall by many amateur imagers, there may be a catalog number for the area but I have not heard anyone reference it to date.
The Image is composed of three monochrome filtered channels combined in photshop to create a false color RGB. For this Image I combined Ha, OIII and SII data to create the final color image.
