Description

As we got several clear nights during the last few weeks (which we didn't for several month) and also
the conditions being quite good, I went for the Pelican Nebula in the constellation of Cygnus.
Due to starting imaging while the object was still quite low, the RGB channels showed some
fluffy stars, which I definitely didn't really like. Lucky, I got it fixed so far to make them look
acceptable by using the Ha channel's stars as the luminance channel for the star image.
The image's pre-processing was done in PixInsight (RGB star image and the monochrome NB-images),
while the final processing has been made using Photoshop.
Hope you like it.

CS,
MIchael
