The Pelican Nebula

Emission Nebula in Cygnus
RA 20h 47m 48s Dec +44° 22' 00"

Chris Callaway captured this image of the North America and Pelican Nebulae from Saint Pierre D'Albigny in France in September 2024. The image comprises 55 x 120 second exposures taken using an Altair Hypercam 26C through a Redcat 51 telescope. Image Credit: Chris Callaway.

John Hill captured this image of the Pelican Nebula in August 2024. It comprises 131 x 60 second subs, giving a total exposure of 2 hours 11 minutes. These were taken using a ZWO 294MC Pro camera, through a Skywatcher Esprit 100 ED telescope, with a field flattener and Optolong L-Pro filter. The subs were stacked and processed in Siril with further processing in AstroSharp. Image Credit: John Hill.

This wide field image in the constellation of Cygnus shows the North America Nebula at upper centre with the Pelican Nebula at right of centre. It was captured by Dave Selfe on the 11th August 2022. It is comprised of 67 x 30 second exposures taken with a Nikon D750 (CMOS) camera at ISO 400 and Optolong Multi-Narrowband L-eNhance filter through a 61mm Willliam Optics Zenithstar apochromatic refractor. This setup was mounted on a Sky-Watcher EQ6-R PRO mount. Image Credit: Dave Selfe.

This close up image of the Pelican Nebula was taken by Adrian Brown in June 2007. It was taken with an ATK16HR CCD camera and a Skywatcher 80EDPro refractor. The image is comprised of nine 30 minute exposures taken through a 6nm Hydrogen-Alpha filter. Image Credit: Adrian Brown.

Adrian Brown took this wide field image of the Pelican Nebula (IC 5067-70) and the North America Nebula (Caldwell 20/NGC 7000) on the 23rd July 2006. The Pelican Nebula lies to the right (just west of) the North America Nebula as seen in this picture. Six 15 minute exposures were captured through a 13nm Astronomik Hydrogen Alpha filter via an ATK16HR CCD camera and a Pentax 50mm SLR camera lens at f/4. A Celestron CGE mount was used throughout, auto-guided via the program GuideDog and a Skywatcher 80T refractor and ATK-2HS CCD camera. Image acquisition and stacking was done in Maxim DL 4.53. Post processing was performed in Adobe Photoshop and consisted of Levels and Curves, a high pass filter to sharpen the image and selective use of the Gaussian Blur filter to smooth the background noise.

The Pelican Nebula lies to the right hand side of this picture, just west of the North America Nebula. Eight 5 minute exposures were captured through a 13nm Astronomik Hydrogen Alpha filter via an ATK16HR CCD camera and a Vivitar 135mm SLR camera lens at f/4.
