Acquiring and processing details

The Pelican Nebula, also known as IC5070 is an H II region associated with the North America Nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The gaseous contortions of this emission nebula bear a resemblance to a pelican, hence its name. It's located nearby first magnitude star Deneb and is divided from its more prominent neighbor, the North America Nebula, by a molecular cloud filled with dark dust.

I took this picture during two nights, November 4th and 6th 2020. In total 13,5 hrs of integration in Hubble-pallet SHO. It's actually one of my first picture I took with the Astronomik 7nm narrowband filters. Also the first NB processing flow in PixInsight based on the tutorial of Ben's Astrophotography. . Calibration and integration was done in Astro Pixel Processor, processing in Pixinsight and finetuning in Photoshop.

This picture was picked up by APOD.Sky probably after I submitted it to the NASA APOD page. I'm really impressed by the likes it got and the positive comments.
