Nov 4, 2023 · Forsaken by most astrophotographers because of its close proximity to the nearby North American and Pelican nebulae, IC5068 is a somewhat less famous emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The area has a great deal of ionized Ha gas, as well as ample amounts of Oiii and Sii gas that presents itself well in the standard Hubble palette.

Oct 16, 2021 · IC 5068 looks like a parallelogram with diagonal extensions at bottom left and top right. Like the other patches of glowing gas in this region, this nebula lies around 1,600 light years away, and glows in red wavelengths due to emissions from hydrogen atoms.

Jul 25, 2022 · This is IC 5068, a low emission nebula (composed of clouds of hydrogen gas), neglected because it is located near the very photogenic North America and Pelican nebulae. The nebula is best known for the streaks of dark clouds that separate the hydrogen-colored regions, which also separate the nebula from its better-known neighbors.

Aug 11, 2015 · Like the other patches of glowing gas in this region, this nebula lies around 1600 light years away, and is glowing red due to emissions from atoms of hydrogen gas. The brightest star in this image (blue star right of centre) is a little below the limit of …

IC5068 is a low emission nebula composed of clouds of mostly hydrogen gas. It is located in the region of the nebulae of North America and the Pelican in the constellation Cygnus. It is often overlooked due to its two neighbors which are much brighter and easier to …

Sep 6, 2021 · Often overlooked because of its more famous neighbor (the Pelican Nebula), IC5068 is a nice narrowband target that distinctly shows the three narrowband emission lines. This is a modified Hubble palette image with SII=red, Hα=green, OIII=blue.

Actually, IC5068 is would be better described as the Carribean Sea, with the part of Mexico and Central America to the left. This is a very very complex cloud "complex" that holds all sorts of astronomical wonders.

Aug 18, 2022 · This nebula is the brightest "condensation" in the Cygnus Arc, south off the Pelican and NA. From West to East, the condensations in the Cygnus Arc are: LBN 334, LBN 329, IC5068, LBN 332, and the very faint LBN 356.

The IC 5068 region is a mix of bright and dark nebulosity forming complex perpendicular patterns of light and shadow. It's on the southern side of the North America - Pelican nebula complex in Cygnus in the northern summer Milky Way. Technically, I think IC 5068 refers only to the brightest patch just right of center.

IC5068 is a faint emission nebula located in the constellation of Cygnus at approximately 1600 lights years distance. This often gets overlooked due to it's close proximity of its more famous neighbours, the North American and Pelican nebula.
