Description

We've had an amazing run of clear nights in Prescott Arizona this past week.  I had time to complete two projects; a two panel mosaic in Cygnus along with this image of the Pelican Nebula and surroundings. 

The intricate dark structures between the Pelican Nebula and IC 5068 are among the most fantastic displays of interstellar dust in the Milky Way.  To see the fine details better, I oriented the image in portrait mode this time.   For those who prefer not to scroll around so much, a landscape version can be viewed in revision B.
