Description

IC 5070, or the Pelican Nebula, is part of the North America Nebula complex, which also includes ngc 7000 and ic 5068.
This image marks my transition from PixInsight on windows to PixInsight on Ubuntu, if further tests go well.
I've had problems with PI on my Windows computer (Lenovo ThinkCentre M90Q, with Intel i9 and 32 GB RAM), where the program would randomly read from forbidden memory addresses and freeze. Hopefully, the switch to Ubuntu will solve this.
