Hello All,
Here is the Pelican Nebula, shot from a
bortle 8, before I went to darker skies this last weekend. I think it is my best image yet
It is amazing what a few extra hours will do for your images. For example, usually after applying the initial background extraction and noise reduction, the image looks more noisy after re- auto-stretching. I am assuming it didn't do that this time because there's more data than usual!
I had to cut out a lot of my Oiii because I forget to refocus when it gets cold and when I switch from my ZWO filters to my Oiii Chroma filter.
As always, I am always looking for tips and tricks, or suggestions on what I can do to improve my images. If you have any suggestions for how to make this better, please let me know! I am happy to hear any constructive criticism
I think I'm going to print this one!
