Description

A 1.5h  HA image taken using a mono camera was used as the luminance channel for a 2.0h  OSC RGB image of the Pelican nebula, IC5070 at F 5.0, f = 1000 mm taken through a UHC filter.    Capture was with Sharpcap and preprocessing plus processing  (background removal, noise reduction, photometric colour calibration and curves) was carried out using PixInsight with final adjustments made in Affinity.

Several Herbig Haro objects associated wit newborn stars are visible.  Most obviously HH555  is visible at the end of the dark pillar of dust nearest the centre of the image.
