Description

Pelican data captured in NB (SHO) over four different nights in July, between 7/14 and 7/31.  There is a total of nearly 10 hours of data (mostly Ha - 5.75 hours)

Spent a lot of time learning Pixinsight and trying to get something akin to the Hubble palette, although I got minimal S-II data. The stars need some work -- and the end result may be a little over-processed and unnatural, but I was pleased with the fiery look regardless!
