Description

The Pelican Nebula (IC5070), in HOO palette, from my backyard. I took the Hydrogen-alpha data during and around the full moon. This was made possible by using a monochrome camera and a H-a narrowband filter, which enables the camera to collect very specific wavelengths of light emitted by excited Hydrogen, cutting through a lot of the light pollution and moonlight. The Oxygen-III data was taken closer to the new moon, or at least when the Moon was very low and not very bright.  When processing in HOO, I put the H-a data into the red channel, and the O-III into the blue and green channels. About 23 hours worth of images in this stack.
