The Pelican Nebula has been on my bucket list since I've been in my 20s. I'm delighted to have finally captured it!
The Pelican is an emission nebula close to the bright star Deneb in Cygnus, the Swan. Named for its resemblance to a pelican, (although my wife says it looks like a pterodactyl!) the nebula is associated with the neighboring North America Nebula. It is a particularly active mix of star formation and evolving gas clouds.
