North American Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC5070)

This is a image that we captured over the weekend. This photo is of the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC5070). The North American Nebula is in the top left of the frame, and derives its name from the resemblance to the continent of North America on Earth. The Pelican Nebula can be seen in the right of the frame, and appears to be perched just off the eastern coast of the North America.
