Pelican Nebula - colours


Recommended Posts

I managed 3 1/2 hours on the Pelican Nebular a couple of nights ago.  I think its my best image yet.

Processing in PixInsight, the first image is a straightforward stretch plus curves.  For the second, I split the channels and played around (I saw some techniques for OSC narrowband Hubble-like colours).  Stars were diminished on both.  Colour wise, I guess the first is the most accurate but I like the second one best.

Canon 800D modded, WO 72ZS

Fornax Lightrack II

3 1/2 hrs (68 x 185sec subs)

40 Darks, 30 Flats, 37 Biases

Bortle 5, but looking towards B4
