Description

This is the part of the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) where one can see the "eye" of the bird.

I actually think the Pelican looks more like a Pterosaur. Anyway.

3 nights of Ha with the Vixen VMC110L and the ASI 178MM. Very, very satisfied (despite the stars being elongated due to incorrect spacing from the reducer).
