Reprocessing the North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula from May 2023

I wasn't very happy with my processing of the NGC 7000 region from earlier this year, so I had another go at it.

North America Nebula and Pelican Nebula

After almost a year and a half, it was time to bring out my old primary lens for astrophotography: The trusty Tamron 70-200mm. But the image was giving me a hard time in an unexpected way.

aka the Nebula (on the left) and aka the Nebula(on the right) is a large hydrogen emission area 2500 light years away near , the brightest star in the constellation. They appear as two separate nebula because of a ridge of dark space dust that blocks the light from everything behind it. This image is 64 five-minute exposures captured May 18-19 with my 250mm lens.

Current work in progress The Nebula, couldn't resist a quick process of 5 hours of H-alpha data, so much going on in this nebula, looking forward to getting enough data to complete it. 190MN and Atik 383L+ camera

IC 5070 Pelican Nebula

Magnitude 8.0 H II region associated with the North American Nebula located 1,800 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus and close to the star Deneb. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, hence the name.
