Pelican - First Light - Narrowband - CDK14 (Higher contrast and color saturation)

First narrowband image with the new rig. The Pelican Nebula in SHO.

The CDK14 with the 0.66x reducer is very well suited for narrowband nebula imaging. The FOV is about 1.5 degrees with the full frame sensor, it was a bit too much and I had to crop a bit of the frame for my taste.

Being almost 50 degrees latitude north meant there no astronomically dark nights (not even 30 minutes) at this date, but I finally finished finetuning the setup and wanted to get some data regardless. It turned out better than I expected.

The combination of aperture, fast focal ratio, very narrow bandpass and the very low noise QHY600M meant a decent amount of data could be captured despite the conditions and Bortle 6 suburban sky.

The image scale is 0.465"/pixel and was downsampled to reduce the image size showing the "big picture".

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
