Description

The Pelican Nebula using a Hydrogen Alpha pass filter. I took over 20 hours of data but used the best 17 hours to make the final image. All data was taken on clear nights scattered throughout the month of August, 2022.

This area of sky is most impressive when you are able to zoom in on different details, whether observing the crisp nature of the HII structure or just admiring the dark silhouettes of dust clouds in the foreground.

Enjoy!
