Description

This is a two-panel mosaic of the North America and Pelican Nebulae. The Pelican data was captured in June 2017, the North America in August 2017.

The objects are emission nebulae in the constellation of Cygnus. They are located some 1,600 light years from earth.

I have processed this previously, but this is a substantial revision including restacking subs and using a different crop. Furthermore, the bulk of the processing was done by Lis.

Technical details:

Description: Monitors. Several times I thought I had it sorted. Perahs this time I have. Who knows? Anyhow, the latest configuration has allowed me to put a bit more colour in on this compared with earlier versions.
