Pelican nebula - SHO

After of two months of no imaging, I have no new data to play with. So I decided to check into my repository for unused data and I found an hour of Sii for the pelican nebula, that I can use with my previous HOO image to create a SHO image.

Take away form this session - Take calibration frames right away after imaging sessions. I struggled to get the images calibrated, failed and ended up cropping the image. There's plenty of details that's in this region that I couldn't capture with 7 hours of imaging. Not sure if it is insufficient data or if I imaged on not the most ideal seeing conditions, Or to blame ED102 FCD100. Though the scope produced some nice images, the stars were not tight and round.
I had a chance to compare the RAW subs with pictures taken with Esprit100 and Esprit100 was way better. I will have to investigate and improve the acquisition.

I am in the process of learning and improving the processing techniques. Will be happy to hear feedbacks and critiques.

Thanks,
Deepan

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
