IC 5070/5067 - The Pelican Nebula 2020 Aug 14 Written By Jason Matter Image Information:Observing Location: backyard, Las Vegas Sky Conditions: Bortle zone 9Object's Name or Designation: The Pelican NebulaTelescope or Lens Used: Meade 115mm APO AstrographCamera: ZWO ASI 1600MMFilters: Ha + Oiii + SiiExposure Time(s): 10 minutes per shot. 20 hours and 20 minutes total.Special Techniques Used: Autoguiding (when it worked, half of the time) Processed in PixinsightOther Comments or Description: This image shows the bright and busy Pelican Nebula in Cygnus. There are lots of dark clouds visible in the image, as well as streaks of fainter clouds all throughout.In “front” of the Pelican, near the bottom right can be seen several “Herbig-Haro” objects, which are jets of gasses and other matter being ejected at hundreds of miles per second by the newborn stars. One of the visible ones in the photo (the long thin pillar on the right of the blob) shows HH 555, the most active Herbig-Haro object in the Pelican Nebula.These objects, when colliding with the surrounded dust of the nebula, create gigantic bright shock waves. These jets will disappears over time as they disperse in space. Copyright Information: Antoine Grelin - Galactic Hunter Support AAPOD2 for free!
