| Negatives - August 1997 | The North American Nebula is a bright glow visible in binoculars in the northern end of Cygnus, in one of the brightest areas of the milky way. The source of the illumination for the nebula is thought to be alpha Cygnus, also called Deneb. The dark area representing the Gulf of Mexico is clearly visible, as is IC5070 which is a separate object more commonly called The Pelican Nebula due to it's distinctive shape. |

| Processing Info:
These are some of the "found" negatives, discovered when
compiling all my Astro Negatives during this Holiday period. Originally
in 1997 these shots were processed using emulsion techniques, glass
slide double stacking, and some $ spent at the processing lab, with
marginal results.
