Pelican & North America

Another reprocess of 2018 data. Perhaps not the most spectacular of images but in these days....any distraction from the 'real' news might be appreciated. There are very subtle improvements over the original processing evident to me on the high resolution image - but overall not that much different apart from a slight colour difference. This was 1st light for a new camera at the time - a much wider field of view than I could manage beforehand. This is total of 10 hours 40 minutes exposure - again narrowband filters used and nothing like it would look like via a telescope.
  

Hi Brendan, 

Your images really do provide a nice break from the turmoil of the virus. 

You've framed this shot beautifully by including the lighter elements of the nebula in the bottom left, and top right corners. 

Great work again... Very well done!

Hopefully, you'll get those clear skies soon, 

Darren. 

Thanks Darren....I have another image for FaceBook tomorrow morning.....I will put it up here shortly. One from February that only went up on the web site - I was never happy with it so did not 'spread it around'....so to speak. I spent some time on it today.....I think it looks OK for posting.
(It is a object I did before (IC 2177) - just changed the framing a bit this time around)).
