The bright Nordic summer nights are coming to an end, and while proper dark may still be some days off, the new moon and clear skies meant it was time to kick off the new astrophotography season.

IC5070 Pelican Nebula can be found in the constellation Cygnus. This star forming area of dust and gas is located some 1,800 light-years distant from this rock we call home.
