Description

Pelican Nebula using the ForaxX palette.

Wiki: The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5070 and IC 5067) is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus.
It lies at a distance of 1,800 light years and has a visual magnitude of 8.0.

I captured this image over a span of 3 nights from 9:00 pm to 4:00 am. 
I finally got a cloud break after so many cloudy/rainy nights.
Because of the good seeing conditions and 17 hours of integration my PixInsight processing was pretty simple.
All the processing was done using PixInsight with a little  help from Lightroom.
