Description

Narrowband effort of the North American and Pelican Nebula using the Hubble SHO color palette. I did dial down the green channel(h-alpha) some that was understandably overwhelming the image.  This is the first light effort using my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro L Lens.  It did a decent job without having to throttle back the aperture opening, which I typically do when using a DSLR lens.  Ran the lens wide-open at f/2.8. Processing was a bit of a challenge with this very wide field of view.
