Look up to the sky...

Our first attempt to the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), an emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It spans about 10 light-years and is illuminated by hot, young stars that emit intense ultraviolet radiation, causing the surrounding hydrogen gas to glow brightly. The nebula's shape resembles a pelican's head and neck, hence its name. Can you see it?

A deep-sky astrophotograph of the Pelican Nebula taken from Bubulcus & Bolotas showing wispy, cloud-like structures of glowing red hydrogen gas against a dark star field. The nebula’s upper region features a bright, curving ridge of red emission, while darker dust lanes weave through the center and lower areas. Numerous small white stars are scattered throughout, with one slightly brighter bluish star near the lower middle of the frame.

Our first capture of the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070), an emission nebula in Cygnus. It stretches roughly 10 light-years and glows as young, hot stars energize surrounding hydrogen gas. Its shape resembles a pelican’s head and neck—can you see it?

Here is the last of the successful images from last night. Did a mosaic of . This mosaic was made with about and hour of observations.

IC 5070 Pelican Nebula - telescope processed image. IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula, is a star-forming emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, named for its shape, and sits right next to the North America Nebula. IC 5070 Pelican Nebula - unprocessed image. The IC 5070 Pelican Nebula is a star-forming region that will completely change its bird-like shape in a few million years due to stellar radiation.

Another quick test this evening. Tried to image the . The two seen in the image are (at the top) and (at bottom) .

IC 5070 the Pelican Nebula - telescope processed image. IC 5070, also known as the Pelican Nebula, is a large H II region in the constellation Cygnus, actively forming new stars.IC 5070 the Pelican Nebula - unprocessed image. IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula, is part of the same giant interstellar cloud as the nearby North America Nebula, but a dark dust cloud separates the two.

3814*20 sekund + 1194*10 sekund = 88220 sekund = 24.50555 godzin = 1.021064 dni. Mozaika skłdająca się z ośmiu paneli, bo to baaardzo szerokie ujęcie (8 x kadr Seestara S50).

Reprocessing the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula from May 2023

I wasn't very happy with my processing of the NGC 7000 region from earlier this year, so I had another go at it.

North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula

After almost a year and a half, it was time to bring out my old primary lens for astrophotography: The trusty Tamron 70-200mm. But the image was giving me a hard time in an unexpected way.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography The #PelicanNebula aka #IC50870 is a large hydrogen emission nebula in the #Cygnus area of the MilkyWay. Cygnus 57 is a binary star about 530 light years from Earth while Cygnus 56 is a double star about 135 light years away. I'm kind of disappointed in this image since it is my longest exposure yet (about 6 hours captured two nights ago under good stargazing conditions) but I wasn't able to pull much of the red out of the nebula. #StillLearning
