IC 5070 Pelican

That's nice! I love how the bright luminous parts contrast with the rest of the nebula, and everything is so detailed too. It's awesome.

That's looking beautiful. Well done, you have tamed those halos very effectively.

It's interesting that the focus of this image is totally different to the normal Pelican. And I like!!

we had a discussion and said this way looks more like a rabbit with fluffy ears rather than a pelican

Smashing, version 2 takes it for me.

Much better, but I am still puzzled about the star colour. What IS the colour mapping?

i posted further up that i mapped Sii to red, Ha to green and Oiii to blue, is this not correct??

[perfrej]

That is correct and usually yields magenta stars while your's are cyan. Maybe it's just the two big ones that makes it stick out. Not a big problem, was just curious. It is a great shot!

/p

[Velvet]

thank you all for your help and comments.

Per,

yes i was a bit confused about that but decided it was just maybe a got one of the sliders etc wrong

Stunning Velvet....simply stunning, the last rendition is by far the best one.

So what if it appears a little darker, it gives it depth & the colours have a real look about them, swathes of dust creating a rich textured feel.

That is a top drawer shot & well done getting it in SAN.

Impressed ? i'd say so.
