This image includes a portion of the North America Nebula known as the Cygnus Wall. The W-shaped ridge of gas and dust is a star forming region about 20 light years long. The nebula is located about 1600 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. For this image, several hours of exposure were taken from the relatively dark skies over Rocky Mountain National Park.
