IC5070 - The Pelican Nebula

A collaborative visual color image by me and my friend Greg. He captures the photons at his observatory and I process the data into presentable imagery. RGB exposure time: 4 hours 36 minutes.

This link will take you to our wide field image, from which the Pelican image above was extracted, and which includes the North America Nebula next door.

Thanks for considering this image for Astronomy Picture of the Day.
