Description

Here is a closeup of the Pelican Nebula. It is About 9 hours of integration on June 21 and 22. I have the scope mounted on the CEM70 in my observatory. I like the scope's capture of nebulosity.

In my wider views of the Pelican, I had not realized the delicate nebulosity behind his head and shoulders. It turns out there is also a Herbig-Haro object which is another thing I had not noticed.  Those jets come off the black finger extension. The information comes from https://www.constellation-guide.com/pelican-nebula/

Enjoy!
