Description

Poking around the DSS2 survey in Stellarium for a target, I saw a neat looking patch beneath the North America and Pelican Nebulae so I thought I'd put some time on it.  Lots of interesting looking dark dust obscuring the view.  I did not collect nearly enough time on Oiii, and Sii could have used a bit more too. I sat on this data for a while because I just could not get a result I was happy with. In this attempt, after the initial pixelmath combination I applied Ha as Lum and that allowed me to get the color I wanted and tame the noise.  I don't recall the exact procedure I landed on but I think it turned out pretty nice.
