Pelican Nebula – IC 5070
Pelican Nebula
IC 5070 is just above the North American Nebula and was caught during a really hazy night with only a few images, but still none the less fun to process and turned out pretty good using hubble color palette. Ha, Oiii, and Sii were all pretty consistent light, but just not great skys even after calibration data and not a ton of exposure time.
