Region of northern Cygnus containing the bright emission nebulas, the North America and Pelican Nebulas at bottom and the dark nebula called LeGentil
Region of northern Cygnus containing the bright emission nebulas, the North America and Pelican Nebulas at bottom and the dark nebula called LeGentil 3 or the Funnel Cloud Nebula at top, for its tornado-like shape. The latter is one of the darkest areas of the northern Milky Way, similar to the Coal Sack in the southern sky. The bright star at bottom right is Deneb. The small patch of emission nebulosity to the right of Deneb is Sharpless 2-112. Above it is Sh2-115. The large nebula at bottom left is the Clamshell Nebula or Sharpless 2-119. The curving nebula below the Pelican Nebula is the Cygnus Arc or IC 5068. Photographed from southern Alberta, Canada on 9/10 September 2023.
