Description

The nights are short this time of year. I reshot the North America Nebula and the Pelican Nebula. This time with better polar alignment (17' 58") and auto-guiding.

I shot darks and flats in the morning (same temperature), but I noticed that the calibrated version had ugly artifacts and the vignetting correction made the edges washed out. So this upload is uncalibrated.

Shot with an unmodified Canon 6D at 1600 iso. 54 frames of 120s.

Processing in Siril: processing script with drizzle, photometric color correction, remove green noise, median filter, asinh, histogram, color saturation, background removal, resample 50%
