18" (9/25/06): IC 5068 is the second of three very large emission nebulae roughly one degree south of the southern end of the Pelican Nebula. At 113x and an OIII filter, this object appears very large, diffuse, irregular glow, roughly 25'x20'. It is noticeably brighter in a 12' circular region about 10' north of a mag 7.3 star (HD 198690) and a group of brighter stars that are near the southeast side of the nebula.
To the northwest is a second large patch of nebulosity, generally designated IC 5068B, though if Espin's declination was off by 1.5¡, this may be IC 5067. This piece is very large and elongated NW to SE, extending perhaps 40'x15'. It contains a bright circular 10' patch to the south of a mag 8 star (SAO 50061). A broad river of faint nebulosity streams away towards the northwest from this brighter region.
To the east of IC 5068 is the least conspicuous section, dubbed IC 5068C. This
detached piece extends 30'x15' (elongated E-W) and overall has a low surface
brightness appearing as a hazy glow. A mag 6.7 star is at the southwest end
and a mag 7 star is at the eastern edge.

Size 80x70
18" (7/17/07): The huge Pelican Nebula overfilled the 67' field in the 31 Nagler. The UHC filter gave a higher contrast than the OIII filter. Several brighter sections were noted on the close-up chart A1 in the U2000 atlas. One of the brightest pieces is the "neck" of the Pelican located 20'-25' W of mag 4.8 57 Cygni and collinear with two mag 8/9 stars 10' and 12' due W. The glow extends 10' in length. To the SW of the mag 4.8 star is the large "beak" section that streams from NW to SE and extends roughly 20'x8', widening a bit at the SE end. The west side of the beak is defined by a dark lane that parallels the nebulosity and the large, faint body of the Pelican is west of this lane and includes 5.1-magnitude 56 Cygni (the nebulosity is very weak here). The brightest section of the body is a large, circular patch at the south end, ~12' diameter, and located 30' SE of 56 Cygni and 55' S of the "neck".
18" (9/25/06): This was the first observation of the Pelican Nebula in quite awhile and I forgot about this huge, interesting emission nebula. The view was fascinating at 113x with an OIII or UHC filter as this object overfilled the 44' field. I started exploring to the west of 4.8-magnitude 57 Cygni. The brightest section is possibly on a line with this star and a mag 7.2 star further east and corresponds with the neck portion on the Pelican. This is where the ionization front is most evident on photographs. The elongated "beak" of the Pelican also begins to the west of the bright star and streams off in a wide river of nebulosity towards the southeast and passing out of the field. A long darker lane apparently free of nebulosity isolates the "neck" from the main body of the Pelican. The irregular body spreads out to the south of the neck well beyond the southern edge of the eyepiece field and extends at least 65' from the neck terminating at the SE end with a roundish bright patch of nebulosity ~12' in diameter. The Pelican is located directly west of the North American Nebula and part of the same huge complex of nebulosity in this region (separated by the dark cloud LDN 935).
13.1" (7/5/83): the entire body of the "Pelican" is easily visible at 62x and a UHC filter. The "head and neck" section is easy to view along with the fainter "bill" and a long body extending from head. Located west of the North America Nebula in a rich field between two mag 7 stars.

17.5" (10/4/97): very faint, very small, slightly elongated, very small
bright core. Halo increases to ~40" with averted vision. There are several
stars to the west including a mag 13.5 star 1.4' W. Brightest in a group including
IC 5369, IC 5371, IC 5372 and IC 5373.

17.5" (10/4/97): extremely faint, very small, round, 20" diameter.
Located 1.4' NW of a mag 14 star. This is the furthest north of five galaxies
in the IC 5370 group. Similar IC 5372 lies 2.4' S.

Size 0.5x0.4
17.5" (10/4/97): extremely faint and small (required averted vision),
round, 15" diameter, no concentration. Located 40" NW of a mag 12.5
star which is 2' due W of IC 5373 in the IC 5370 group.

V = 14.7; Size 0.6x0.4; Surf Br = 13.0; PA = 150d
17.5" (10/4/97): very faint, very small, round, 25" diameter, weak
concentration. Second brightest in the IC 5370 group. Situated between two mag
12.5 stars 2.1' W and 2.7' E and 6' SW of a mag 9.1 star. IC 5370 lies 5' SW.
This is a double galaxy, although I probably only viewed the brighter western
component.

13.1" (10/10/86): very faint, small, very elongated 3:1 SW-NE. Located
just NW of a small isosceles triangle of mag 12-13 stars with side about 1'
with the closest star 43" SE. Can just hold steadily with averted. Forms
a pair with N7814 10' N.
