IC5070, the Pelican Nebula in Cygnus. This color image uses a luminance stack of 16 one minute exposures using a 5" f/6 refractor. It was combined with subsampled red, green and blue channels, each of which was a stack of 16 one minute exposures. All image processing was performed using AIP4WIN. This image was balanced using the Equalized Color option of AIP4WIN. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1300x1030.

 

Hydrogen-α
Object: IC5070	The Pelican Nebula - Emission Nebula	Const.: Cygnus
Camera: SXV-H9	Scope: Tele Vue Genesis SDF	Mount: Losmandy Titan
Filter(s): Hα	Exposure: 12x8m	TeleVue 0.8x Focal Reducer
The Pelican Nebula, IC5070 in Cygnus. This image is a stack of 12 eight minute exposures shot through a Hydrogen-alpha filter. The exposures were acquired using an SXV-H9 CCD camera on a Tele Vue Genesis SDF 4" refractor equipped with a 0.8x focal reducer, yielding an effective focal length of 430mm. The exposures were stacked using AIP4WIN. This image has been resampled down from its original size of 1040x1392.
