Description

IC5070 is one of my favorite summer subjects.  The Pelican Nebula lies about 2,000 light-years away, with a linear diameter of 30 light-years. It is part of the same large star-forming H II region that contains the North America nebula.    IMHO opinion it needed to be taken with a wider field of view.......I intend to do just that when the clouds permit.   Also, the corners of this image show that I need to move my backfocus back a few mm.
