Description

The purpose of this work was to show details of a dark dust band denoted as LDN 935, which separates visually the areas of NGC 7000 and IC 5070. It is also evident that the area of ​​both nebulae is one structure only visually divided for the observer from Earth.

Follow Concise Catalog of Deep Sky Objects : "NGC 7000 and the nearby “Pelican Nebula” (IC 5070, whose pelican shape is seen in photographic images) are both part of a single ionized hydrogen (HII) star-forming region (with a mass of about 5,000 suns) that is part of a single dark, giant molecular cloud (with a mass of about 50,000 suns). [...] The nebulae NGC 7000 and IC 5070 are thought to be ionized by a single star magnitude 13.5 star (2MASS J20555125 + 4352246) that lies just east of the Florida Peninsula area."
