Description

North America and Pelican Nebulae -

Wide-field narrowband image of the North America and Pelican nebulae taken from a cabin in Western Mass, the night of August 17-18, using a Takahashi FSQ-85 at F/3.8 on a Paramount MX+ with a QSI 683.

40 images, 6 minutes each, of Ha, O3, and SII. Skies were dark but very humid.

Will try to post-processed this data better, but this is my first quick attempt for immediate gratification. Processed in Pixinsight and tweaked in Photoshop.
