Pelican Nebula

SCO

This image is a 35 minute exposure of the Pelican Nebula. It is a stack of 7, 5 minute sub frames combined using Images Plus. Digital development processing was used to stretch the image and the multi-spectral smoothing was used to reduce the noise. Post processing includes layered star size reduction, background correction and some additional noise reduction. The saturation was increased on the stars (maybe a little too much). All post processing done in Paint Shop Pro.

Canon EOS 350D ,Meade 8" f/4 SN telescope
