Description

- narrowband version of the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070)

- data collected at Deep Sky West Observatory

- using 17 x 1800 sec of Ha data, 14 x 1800 sec of OIII, and 15 x 1800 sec of SII

- various revisions show different mappings of narrowband data to RGB

- still undecided which one I like best, so I uploaded them all... A is most 'natural', B most 'colorful', C most 'three dimensional', and D best "compromise"... pick your favorite ;-)

- uploaded two reprocessed versions (E and F) with less aggressive structure enhancement... I think I overdid it in the first processing run
