Description

This image is teh sum of 627 60 secs unguided subs taken during the nights of the 1st and 3rd of July 2022 from my home terrace. Imaging train was Newton Orion USA 250, QHY268M, IOptron CEM60EC mount. This is the last image taken with the Omegon Coma Correctom and with the Artesky filter box. An Explore Scientific coma corrector is on the way. Filter was a Primalucelab UHC. I have found out that changing filter with the filter box changed the shape of stars, making something wrong with the coma correction. Filter box was mounter before the coma corrector. Let's see what happen with the new one. Aquisition, stacking and processing done with Astroart 8.

The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 and IC 5067) is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, giving rise to its name. The Pelican Nebula is located nearby first magnitude star Deneb, and is divided from its more prominent neighbour, the North America Nebula, by a foreground molecular cloud filled with dark dust. Both are part of the larger H II region of Westerhout 40.(Wikipedia)
