This week, Dave explores the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). This pair of objects in Cygnus, break up by a darkish lane of dust, are two of essentially the most beloved and recognizable emission nebulae within the night time sky. Mendacity about 2,600 light-years away, they’re excessive within the northern summertime sky and make an ideal goal for binoculars or a Celestron telescope. Some say the North America Nebula (the brighter of the 2) is seen even to the bare eye underneath a really darkish and clear sky.
