IC 5070, The Pelican Nebula, is located just to the west of NGC7000. It is about 2.0 degrees east of the star Deneb, which is not visible in this photo. In the upper left of the frame can be seen "The Scull Nebula". My Uranometria Catalog does not show a designation for this.

The Pelican has an absolutely beautiful mix of Bright Nebula, Dark Nebula, and Star colors.

Additional Photographic Notes: This is my first attempt at a true Red Green Blue shot. Black and white exposures were shot through RGB filters then combined to get the color photo. See below for a view of what the raw RGB shots look like I took to make the color photo. Each individual color shot is a stack of 3 15Min shots through the same filter. It is obvious in these photos that even though the Emission Nebula appears generally Red, There are also Blue and Green components present.
