Description

Skies finally cleared last night, so I aimed my camera at the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070)

This large region of glowing hydrogen and dust is home to numerous young stars. The Pelican Nebula is about 30 light years across and 2000 light years away from us. Located in the direction of the constellation Cygnus.

Photographed from home on 9/9/18
