Pelican and North American Nebulae HaRGB

Here is a telephoto version of these classics that are still visible at my latitude for a few hours. I gathered the Ha data 2 April with my Canon 300mm f/4 and a 12nm clip filter (unmodded Canon 60D, 6 x 25 min) to which I added RGB data from 11 November gathered with my Samyang 135mm f/2 (169 x 1 min). All @ ISO1600. So totally 5.3 hours of data.

I think I like the colours but some may think they are a bit over the top. Maybe I should pull back on saturation?

C & S most welcome!

Cheers

Wow, that must be the first image of this region for this year. I't almost circumpolar, but still very low in the sky. Lovely image though.

Thanks Wim!

With a Ha filter I think it is possible to get closer to the horizon without too much sky glow. However, I also took some Ha images with the 5" refractor at the same time and the resolution was not as good as in some RGB data I have previously collected in the autumn.
