IC 5070, Pelican nebula

[Epicycle]

Hi,

here is my go at the Pelican. The Data was collected over four nights:

Ha- 12x1800,   Astrodon 5nm

OIII- 5x1800, Astrodon 3nm

SII- 7x1800, Astrodon 5nm,     Total: 12h

I was aiming for a sort of classical Hubble palette and I think I got something close with colours that I like. Processing was done in Pixinsight and capture

with Nebulosity 3. I used Astrotortilla for the first and it's really great (although it forces me to capture in windows rather than mac ).

The equipment:

-Megrez 72 @ 4.8, SXVR-H9

-Heq5

-Guided off axis with SX Costar and PhD2

Comments welcome, thanks for looking!

cheers

Hey that looks great, I didn't realise there was so much OIII stuff in that area.

Thanks for the comments Chris.

I stretched the oiii quite a bit and at first I was also a little surprised so much came through, but after browsing some images on the web it seems that the amount I got is quite common.

Very well controlled processing; good local contrast to bring out the texture, 'striations' and Herbig-Haro regions.  No rotation with the long subs too.  Excellent.

Thanks for the comments Barry! Very much appreciated,

Good control of the OIII there, its quite easy to go overboard with that and end up with something a bit too cyan. No magenta stars either, so thats another plus!

[Martin-Devon]

Agreed, lovely blend of colours here, this is one of my favourite targets.

Gracias! With the reducer is about 346mm and with the H9 the pixel scale is about 3.8" per pixels,
