North american / pelican nebula 2 pan mosaic Each panel made of 7x1200s Ha + 8x1200s O3 Processed in maxim, CS4 and pixinsight.

Theres a less contrasty version here http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-deep-sky/149895-nan-pelican-mosaic.html

Cant decide which I prefer

IMHO there is little to choose between the two - just personal preference. This one has a clarity which gives definition to the nebula and is a style that I personally prefer - as a consequence I think it's freakin' brilliant!

Whether or not I shall ever have the patience, expertise or equipment to achieve something even remotely similar, only time will tell. But these images will remain the target and when I've succeeded in getting close, I'll be one very happy chappie!

Good stuff Shaun.
