Description

Using the SW120 Esprit and QHY294 got about 13 hours of SHO on the Pelican. So many wonderful images of this region and so many choices with color blend.Hard to decide to even post a result.  I used a Jon Rista inspired SHO blend of R=70:30 S/H; Green=50:50 H/O; and Blue=O. Applied NoiseXterminator to the linear SHO masters before combine. I prefer the image framed horizontally but the poor Pelican insisted and standing upright.
