North American and Pelican Nebulas

[MarkS]

Here's a more obvious object for this time of year!

Taken over the 3 consecutive nights leading up to the July DSC.
9 hours total exposure time in 5 minute subs at ISO 800.  Modded Canon 350D on Takahashi Epslion 180ED with IDAS LPS-P2 filter.



It looks much better in the larger size:

Yes - very nice again Mark - I would love to see results you could get with a dedicated mono astro camera & filters... John

Very nice Mark

[The Thing]

That is lovely and very subtly processed.

Lovely image Mark and well processed too.

It's definitely better in the larger size - JPEG's don't do dense star fields any favours.
