Description

The Pelican Nebula, also known as IC 5070 and IC 5067,  is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus.

The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name.The Pelican Nebula is located nearby first magnitude star Deneb, and is divided from its more prominent neighbour, the North America Nebula, by a foreground molecular cloud filled with dark dust.Both are part of the larger H II region of Westerhout 40.

The picture was taken from several sessions from 08.09 - 03.10.2023. Shot from my garden in a Bortel 5 area.
