Description

NGC 7000, IC 5070 - North America & Pelican Nebula.

Complex emission nebula located about 1500 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus. The illuminating star is hidden behind a dark dust cloud (LDN 935) that runs through the middle of the area. The feature known as the Cygnus Wall (bottom left), is a region of ionised Hydrogen and dust which has high levels of star formation.

The last image I produced from this data was a smaller crop showing detail of the Cygnus Wall. I decided to start from scratch and process the entire image including the Pelican Nebula.

Imaged over 3 nights, modified Hubble palette (SHO).
