North America and Pelican Nebulae Mosaic

[steppenwolf]

Having completed the North America Nebula session there was time for 5 subs on the Pelican Nebula so here is a 'down and dirty' mosaic of the two:-

What a lovely result Steve....Plenty of detail in both NAN and the Pelican.....

I have had 2 unsuccessful nights trying to image NAN.....It doesnt help not using any filters though and my subs could do with being a lot longer than 1minute but still i would of expected some of the nebula to show in the stacked images......back to the drawing board for me on this target.....

Very good mosaic of the two nebulae Steve - like the colour and the definition of the NAN. Well done.

For me, this rocks! It gives an illusion of depth which makes all the difference in an image.

That jumped out at me when I opened the page!

Super image, one of your best IMO!

[Nebulizer]

Great work Steve,If I ever produce work as good as that I'll be well pleased.

Sets a bench mark for me.

Steve,

This is a nice image. I like this region in Cygnus, and your image captures it well. It was worth the effort to mosaic this as well. Individually, these are nice areas of nebulosity, but together thsi is an impressive Vista indeed.

Seriously good image Steve, and well worth the time spent doing the mosaic

Thanks for your comments folks. The camera (SXVF-M25C) certainly gave me some grief getting it to function correctly but I'm glad that I pursued the manufacturer (in the nicest possible way!) until I got the answers I needed to resolve the technical issues!

I have to say that I am now very happy with the camera and for the first time last night, I adjusted the angle of the sensor plane and am happy that I have a good 'flat on' sensor now - what a good idea it was to have this feature built in as it was quite intuitive to use and made a definite improvement to the edge of frame detail.
