That's very impressive. I like the understated colors.

I am curious. Why does the Pelican Nebula have 2 IC numbers (5070 and 5067)?

Narrowband images are always very impressive and this is no exception!

I'm going to guess that like M42 and M43, it looked like 2 separate nebulae in the telescope when it was observed. Another guess would be that one is a star cluster in the nebula like the Rosette Nebula which has like 4 designations.
