IC5070 - The Pelican Nebula (Stellarvue SV66ED)

Skunk Hollow Observatory

IC5070 - The Pelican Nebula (Stellarvue SV66ED) widefield. Shot using a Stellarvue SV66ED piggybacked on top of a SuperCharged Meade LX200 10" with a SBIG ST-2000XM. 60 minutes (12 x 5 minutes) luminance at 1x1 binned. Full Moon. Completely automated acquisition using CCD Commander & MaxIm. Dark frames and flat field frames applied. Self guided by SBIG ST-2000XM. Aligned and combined in CCDSoft. Applied light DDP in AstroArt. Final processing done in Adobe Photoshop. First time using CCD Commander to automate an imaging session. Rotated 7/2/07. I didn't realize the view was flipped and rotated.
