NGC7000 (Bright Nebula, in Cygnus)
Observer: Joe Caggiano (e-mail: jcaggiano@mindspring.com)
Instrument: 70-mm binoculars Location: Glenside, Pa, USA
Light pollution: light Transparency: excellent Seeing: good
Time: Mon Nov 7 00:45:00 2005 UT Obs. no.: 1395
Spotted the North American nebula just a few degrees off from Deneb. Using a nebula filter and my 15x70 Skymaster binos, I spotted the formation of stars that form what appears to be a sidewards "A" in the stars. It was so large and diffuse that I passed it numerous times before in my scope at 30x. In the binos it took up a great portion of my FOV. No wonder I could not spot it before! It appeared about as large as M42 appears at about 100x. VERY faint, at low power I can just make out the continental shape as well as the rift between it and the pelican nebula just next to it.

The famous north America nebula is faint.Under the fine dark skies of Parnon mountain I could easily follow the "mexican coast" up to the "gulf of mexico" with direct vision.No filter used.28 x(32mm erfle).
