My September 2018 Cosmic Challenge dared you to see the North America Nebula without optical aid. How did you do? If you didn’t see it back then, can you now?If you passed that trial, then pick up your binoculars and see how you do with this month’s test. The North America Nebula is easy to see compared to spotting this month's challenge, the Pelican Nebula by binoculars.

I've observed IC 5067 and IC 5070 (Pelican Nebula) a number of times from dark sites using binoculars.
I recently imaged the Pelican Nebula, well at least most of it, using my Seestar S50.
