An early season Pelican

[Luke Newbould]

Hey everyone,

 

I decided to try getting an early look at the Pelican over a few nights earlier this week - in total I collected 9hrs of data on it in 10m exposures

processed start to finish in PixInsight, and captured with a OSC camera and dual narrowband filter - ASI2600mc pro + Optolong L-extreme - shot through my Esprit 120 apo

 

I recorded a video showing my final night of capture too

 

I think this came out really well, and I think it might be one of, if not my best image to date.

 

Thanks for looking!

 

 

and here's the video -

That's looking really nice Luke, love the colour palette you've extracted from the OSC + L-eXtreme - your eye is really drawn to that "burnt" golden area in the bottom right.

That’s beautiful Luke, smooth as silk and colour is excellent you would never know it was from osc
