Pelican Nebula

Where is the Pelican Nebula? APOD features many objects in the night sky, but usually does not have the resources to show where each one lies. Today, thanks to inventive digital manipulations of Filipe Alves, it is possible to show you exactly where the photogenic Pelican Nebula can be found. Clicking on the image above will cause most browsers to download and play a spectacular movie that zooms from the perspective of an unaided human eye to that of a powerful telescope.
