Description

IC 5067, the Pelican Nebula, near Deneb and the North America Nebula in Cygnus. I had a long battle with stray light, mostly in G and B, from the upper right. I suspect it was from Deneb. In the end I dealt with it by copying Ha+R to G and B in that region, matching the color as best I could to the surroundings. I wound up with a background there that was too flat, so I blended in some nearby background. Also wound up with green halos around the brightest stars, which I dealt with by selecting regions around the stars and reducing the green there.
