Description

Here's was my attempt of the Pelican Nebula in the constellation Cygnus high over head in the summer months, Copious ultraviolet radiation from nearby young stars causes the gas to glow. In front of this luminous backdrop, dense clouds of gas and dust are silhouetted, giving rise to the intriguing dark pillars and globules.

I've seen many images of the Pelican Nebula an thought it would be good choice to see what I could get with my equipment.
See down below at revisions to see a starless image.
