Description

IC 5068 (some call it the Forsaken Nebula) is an emission nebula in Cygnus in close proximity to the Pelican Nebula.  It is dominated by a large dark lane as well as numerous wispy dark clouds which give it a somewhat dramatic and moody appearance. It is about 1600 light years away.

Included are starless images of Ha, OIII and SII.

Taken over several nights:  Aug 18, 22; Sep 2, 6, 2023.
