Pelican Nebula (IC5070) taken from Leeds UK by amateur astro-photographer urmymuse. The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 [1]) is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name. [1]
The portion of the nebula resembling Mexico and Central America is known as the Cygnus Wall. This region exhibits the most concentrated star formation. [9] At optical wavelengths, the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) appear distinct as they are separated by the silhouette of the dark band of interstellar dust L935. The dark ...

UGC 11597, PGC 65001, Arp 29, [1] Caldwell 12 NGC 6946 , sometimes referred to as the Fireworks Galaxy , is a face-on intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus, whose location in the sky straddles the boundary between the northern constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus .
The nebula is known as S 142 in the 1959 Sharpless catalog (Sh2-142). [2] It is extremely difficult to observe visually, usually requiring very dark skies and an O-III filter. The NGC 7380 complex is located at a distance of approximately 8.5 kilolight-years from the Sun , in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way .
NGC 7129 is a reflection nebula located 3,300 light years away in the constellation Cepheus. A young open cluster is responsible for illuminating the surrounding nebula. [2] A recent survey indicates the cluster contains more than 130 stars less than 1 million years old. [citation needed] NGC 7129 is located just half a degree from nearby ...
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius.The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars.
