This week, Dave explores the North America Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). This pair of objects in Cygnus, split by a dark lane of dust, are two of the most beloved and recognizable emission nebulae in the night sky. Lying about 2,600 light-years away, they are high in the northern summertime sky and make a perfect target for binoculars or a Celestron telescope. Some say the North America Nebula (the brighter of the two) is visible even to the naked eye under a very dark and transparent sky.
