IC 5070, The Pelican's Eye (August 2018)

This image is 12x1800" with the SXVF-H9 through the Synta-ONTC8 and a 6nm Astronomik H-alpha filter.  Of course, this is the most interesting portion of the Pelican Nebula.  Those of you who know where to look can find a number of Herbig-Haro objects in this image.  Here is a good identification page from a very similar (but even deeper) image: https://www.astrobin.com/252817/ .
