One final tweak of the Pelican - (130pds)

[Uranium235]

Ive had some extra Ha data sitting around for weeks and I've done nothing with it until tonight (bit bored as you can see!).

Anyway, I stacked it, stitched it and processed it. I think Ive reached the point of ever diminshing returns in regard to Ha luminance, so I'll call it a day (or night!) on this one. This time round ive used the J P Metsavainio star removal action to see if it helps keep the OIII bloat on large stars to a minimum.... which it did quite well. It didnt completely remove all the stars from the RGB layer, which is probably to be expected as there are a few big un's in there.

Ive also backed off on the colour saturation and tinkered with the balance a bit to give it a more conservative colour scheme as the last one was a little OTT in retrospect.

Thanks for looking!

Sorry, that came out wrong.  That's amazing considering the aperture.

Dont be sorry   The 130 is a deceptively good telescope, as size (and cost) isnt everything
