Telescope: Takahashi FSQ | Designation: The North America Nebula (NGC 7000 or Caldwell 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, close to Deneb (the tail of the swan and its brightest star). The remarkable shape of the nebula resembles that of the continent of North America, complete with a prominent Gulf of Mexico The Pelican Nebula, also known as IC5070 and IC5067, is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula. The shape of this emission nebula bears a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name. The Pelican Nebula is also located near Deneb, and is divided from its more prominent neighbour, the North America Nebula, by a molecular cloud filled with dark dust (Wiki) |
