I wasn’t sure I was going to post this one, but since its my first attempt at an sho palette, I decided it was worth sharing.

The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) is a large emission nebula located about 1,800 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Its distinctive shape resembles a pelican, carved out by intense radiation from nearby young stars. The region is part of a much larger complex of gas and dust where new stars continue to form and shape the surrounding environment.
