The Pelican Nebula In Cygnus (Ha) - a photo on Flickriver

            Imaged  during the early hours of the 20th March 2022.

 It was very early in the season to image this object  (I was actually imaging another object) but when I saw the familiar cross of Cygnus rising in the NE I thought I would turn the scope to the Pelican to finish the session and just to see how it would turn out.

Consequently this is a bit of a test image and represents only 1.6hrs of total exposure with my Ha filter. I tried to get some OIII data as well and I may post an early HOO image later. 

The Pelican Nebula, catalogued as IC 5070 & IC 5067 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Cygnus. The various gaseous patterns within the nebula give the overall appearance of a Pelican hence the name.

The nebula lies at a distance of 1,800 light-years.

 24 x 250s Ha Total 1.6Hrs
