The Wall of Fire
Description
The Wall of Cygnus is a fiery and bright part of NGC 7000 The North America Nebula.
A hot front of star forming nebulosity which literally hums with the light of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Sulphur which are being energised and warmed by the new starlight within. As the swathes of gas release that energy it glows creating these vast colourful landscapes in the sky above us.
The image was shot using narrowband filters and a monochrome camera. These filters isolate the emission lines of light associated with the elements noted above allowing for more detailed information to be gathered. In this false colour image, I used the colour mapping made famous by the Hubble Space Telescope which I then tweaked to suit my vision for this image.
