| Description | The N.A. Nebula is just "west" of the Pelican... you can see the Pelican's snout as if it were a huge island off the east coast of the US; there's also a wider field image that shows both in the gallery. This is a relatively bright and easy target, especially if you use a filter like L-eNhance that greatly improves the Signal to Noise ratio. A great "star party" target for EAA. |
