The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) in Ha

[Kbramley]

Can't believe I have had 4 clear nights in a row, having popped the Bubble on hold for now I decided to have a go at the Pelican for the first time and really push the guiding to 30min subs. I should really add another pane below to get a bit more in, maybe a fith night on the cards .

Looking good there Keith - You can not beat 30 minute Ha subs

Thanks Sara, the 30mins really do work well on this camera, with the weather so stable atm it does allow long subs without the fear of clouds spoiling the  show.  I seem to have  halos around some of the bright stars, only thought I got this on OIII :/

great shot long subs are better if you can get away with it

An unprecedented 5th night in a row imaging so I managed to get 4 hours more for the bottom part of the Pelican.

I know this sounds odd but your images made the penny drop on my filters not been the order i thought, as what i thought was a luminance image looked so much like yours... it was ha after all.
