Pelican Nebula in NGC 7000
Pelican Nebula in NGC 7000
Just across the other side of the North America Nebula (NGC7000) sits the Pelican Nebula. It is cataloged as IC 5070 and is a dense Hydrogen region with star formation actively occurring. There is a dark dense molecular cloud in front of NGC7000 which gives great detail when lit with the gases behind. This target offers a lot of signal across Ha, Oiii, and Sii to make a great visual image.
