IC5070 Pelican Nebula

[Sterrenland]

My first ever attempt at the Pelican last night...apart from the noise, framing and post-processing I'm quite pleased with it! Just short of 2  hour's worth of 105s subs.

I recently have been taking subs with my Canon 650D at 800 ISO to see if there would be any reduction in noise compared to the usual 1600 ISO I was using before. To be honest, I think the noise seems slightly worse than before so will probably go back to 1600.

Lovely, beautiful starry image.

Nice image but seems a little mottled here and there.

Yes, the noise levels seem to have gone up with my decrease in ISO. I'm going to try going back up to 1600 ISO tonight to see if it's just my imagination.
