Here’s my rendition of the famous Pelican Nebula, the Ha rich neighbor of NGC7000. It took four hours in 15-minute subframes to accomplish this decently clean and signal rich image.
2000 light-years away, it’s a very active star forming region.

Stunning work. I wish i had the hardware to take photographs like this… oh, and lived in a light-pollution free area
Thanks John! But guess what: this photograph was shot in a moderate to heavy light pollution area! The use of a 6nm H-Alpha filter has done the trick.
