Description

Here's my image of the "Pelican Nebula". It is part of a molecular hydrogen cloud 1,800 light years distant, IC5070 in the constellation Cygnus. I captured it Sept 30, while camping near Crawfordville, Ga. during the Peach State Star Gaze. I used a modified Canon T5i and Explore Scientific ED127CF. I used 21x560 second exposures. My processing approach on this one was rather minimal. Removal of green, noise, some stretching and light star morphology to emphasize the cloud.
