Description

IC 5068 is a faint emission nebula (comprised of hydrogen gas clouds), located in the neighborhood of the North America and Pelican nebulae. Specifically, IC 5068 is situated very close to the massive and bright star, known as Deneb.  The nebula is mostly known for the streaks of dark clouds that separate the colourful hydrogen regions, which also cordon the nebula off from its better-known neighbors. (All are located 1,600 light-years away in the constellation of Cygnus.)
