Description

IC 5070 is located right next to the North America Nebula (NGC 7000), the two nebulae being part of the same large HII region known to be active in star formation. The size of the Pelican Nebula is estimated to be around 45 light years across.

I am only posting the photo in hydrogen because I could not finish it in order to post it in color. Indeed, I unfortunately had a big problem with this refractor and therefore it will have to be repaired at Takahashi.
