Pelican Nebula - Those failing to see the Pelican should be able to in this image

[Catanonia]

Got about 3 hours in 2min and 5min subs in Bortle 6 skies the other night on the RASA 8 and ZWO 183mc

Hope you like it and those who can't see the Pelican, hopefully you can in this image

Is it hiding behind that pterodactyl? 😂 

Awesome shot 👍

Yeah it should be renamed

Done a SHO version. Struggling to control the bright stars, but looks ok.

Very nice image. It definitely looks like a pelican, particularly in the first image, which I prefer. Well done

[astro mick]

Er no.😂

Lovely.

really , really nice!  I clearly see the pelican. What I also see (not  kidding  here)  is  a dog.  The two very bright stars  on  left  side  of image are the "eyes", contained  within the blueish area which to me looks strikingly like a dogs head.  That  jumped  out  at  me  even before  I saw the pelican.

That is the Skull Nebula  (yes I can see a dog now, with the dark patch being its nose)

I'm sorry, but I still can't spot it. I just don't know where to look. Could someone point it out please? Where's the beak, where's the head?
