The image features a dark region of space found between the Pelican Nebula and the Cygnus Wall .

This region is photographed often, especially because of the well-known North American nebula NGC 7000.

This is a region where the obscured interstellar dust lanes absorb and scatter the light, darkening the space between both nebulas .
