IC5068

IC5068 in Hydrogen-Alpha

This image shows a portion of IC5068, which is a relatively dim emission nebula located in the constellation Cygnus, near its more often-photographed neighbors the North American and Pelican Nebulae. This area of the sky is particularly interesting due to the nearly straight lines of dark dust that give it a geometric appearance that resembles a woven fabric.
