Lots of red colored gas & dark dust lanes. It supposedly resembles the continent of North America but I don't really see it.

I recently spent 2 days doing #astrophotography at Barcroft Station in the White Mountains of the Sierra Nevadas. It’s located at 3,800 meters (12,470 ft) above sea level, with pristine Bortle 1 skies and sub-arcsecond seeing 🔭 Check out these images from my trip 1/🧵
