Description

At the beginning of June, I started to image IC5070, the Pelican Nebula. I knew I wanted to do a mosaic of the surrounding area and include NGC7000, yet this mosaic kept expanding as I saw the neat nebulosity on the edges.

30 days, 84+ hours of integration time, and 1014 subs I am moving on to O3 and S2. The cropped image comes in at 33,976 x 27,862 pixels, although presented here for size reasons is 6,801 x 6,857 pixels.

I am not happy with some banding I am getting with my ASI294mm, which if you zoom in you can see in some areas. I believe that this is a result of me doing 300 second subs on the majority of the frames rather than my typical 600 or 900 second subs. I need some more testing to validate this and may have to touch up some areas if time allows.

Next up will be a SHO and HSO version after I complete the data acquisition.
