NGC 6960, the Western Veil, is the western part of the remnant, also known as the "Witch's Broom", located at J2000 RA 20 h 45 m 58.1 s Dec +30° 35′ 43″. [3] As the westernmost NGC object in the nebula (first in right ascension), its number is sometimes used as an NGC identifier for the nebula as a whole.

It has low surface brightness because it is so large; at its widest, the North America Nebula is 2 degrees across. Illuminated by a hot embedded star of magnitude 6, NGC 7000 is 1500 light-years from Earth.

NGC 6871 is a small, young open cluster in the constellation of Cygnus.The cluster has fewer than 50 members, most of which are blue and white stars. It is located 5135 light-years from Earth.
NGC 7026 is a planetary nebula located 6000 light-years away, in the constellation of Cygnus. The central star of the planetary nebula has a spectral type of [WO3], indicating a spectrum similar to that of an oxygen-rich Wolf–Rayet star. [2] An analysis of Gaia data suggests that it is a binary system. [3]
