IC5070 Pelican Nebula


Recommended Posts

This was the second attempt at imaging with my new kit, and for this I chose the Pelican Nebula.

This was the set-up.

  • ZWO AM5
  • ASKAR FRA400 f/5.6, at native FL.
  • ASI533MC camera
  • Astronomik L2 UV/IR filter
  • William Optics 50mm/200mm Uniguide
  • ASI120MM guide camera
  • ASIAIR Plus

It was processed in Astro Pixel Processor, with some tweaking in Lightroom. I like bright punchy images, so it won't appeal to those who prefer a gentler approach :wink2:. I've recently noticed that some stars appear a bit greenish, so it probably deserves some green reduction.

It comprised 39 x 180s lights, 30 x darks, 30 x flats, and 30 x flat-darks. Imaged 6-7 August 2022.
