IC5070 Pelican nebula

[Andy Nowlen]

I had to be inactive for a long time. A bit of work and a lot of clouds. June 29 - July 3 I had more time on clear nights with almost no moon than I had the previous 6 months, even considering the short darkness. One project I undertook was the IC5070. I settled on this HOO version for now. I like some of the others created along the way, but this one appeals more to me. I'm not totally happy with the JPG but it is what is for now.

Jaw dropping for my eyes. Your comments leave me wishing I could see what you got to see on your screen but the web imposes limits on such an experience.

Wow, lots of detail here including the rage of colors and brightness.

Awesome work Andy! I like the details and the palette.

I am glad you got some clear skies! I have had almost similar issues except mine is the wind. I have been getting clear skies, but the wind is too high. I need to find a place where I can set up and the wind gets blocked.

Stunning

Very nice - this is always such an interesting object. Your narrowband palette mix is very dramatic and brings out some interesting interplay between the Hα and the OIII emission signals.
