IC 5070 / Pelican Nebula RGB / SHO Combined

Revision title: Cropped Version

This is new data I collected with my Esprit100 and L-Pro filter with 8hrs of integration time. I had shot this image with an older scope my Orion 80ed cf back in July of last year https://www.astrobin.com/nui2bx/D/?nc=&nce= which had a little of over 5hrs of data. I decided to combine both data sets and the following rev's are the results of that combination and that gave me a total of 13hrs of integration time. Of all versions I really like rev D as I decided to do a cropped version with a different orientation that at least to me gives a completely different appearance. I was surprised at how much detail was in the neck/spine of the Pelican.

The one thing I didn't like is the star layer because the stars with my Orion 80 always had a tilt to one side and of course it would have had to be the side that I cropped. I did the best I could with the star layer and even though they aren't perfect I think image itself still looks very good. I also really like the starless version as well. This cropped version is processed in SHO. I tried the Script NBRGBCombine but I wasn't happy with what I was getting so in the end I just used channel combination and made my normal adjustments to achieve the color I wanted.

Thanks and I hope you like it!

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.
