Combination of 14 x 4 minute images for 56 minutes of total exposure time at ISO 800. Takahashi TOA 130, Losmandy G11, Canon EOS 20Da, no noise reduction, darks, or flats. Captured 11/21/2005 from the North Houston Astronomy Club Neal dark sky site. Ambient temperature 45-50 degrees F. From SEDS: Close to NGC 7000 lies the Pelican Nebula, I 5070. This nebula and its neighbour, I 5067, are extremely faint for telescopic observations. Long exposure photographs show that they are interesting objects, too.
