North American & Pelican Nebula Better stars make better images.... here is a reprocess of last year's data plus an additional 30 min taken this year. The 30 min didn't add much, but better processing tequniques did. Learning how to effectively use star removal for processing has been a nemesis of mine, until now . 1 - With stars 2 - starless (this time my fav!) . 45 x 240s (6-5-2021) 7 x 300s (6-6-2021) 20 x 360s (9-11-2021) 6 x 300s (6-21-2022) 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

68 Cygni & NGC 7000 - 2 Panel Mosaic The North American Nebula (NGC 7000), along with the Pelican Nebula, is a popular summertime astrophotography target. Much less popular is its neighbor, the star 68 Cygni and the surrounding dust clouds. With my success doing mosaics with the Sadr Region of Sadr, I decided to attempt coupling 68 Cygni with some pre-existing data taken of the North American Nebula. I had some issues trying to use one stack of my data from last year, so I cut it out completely and used 3.5 hours of data along with 5 hours of 68 Cygni data taken on July, 3 - 4, 2022. So, instead of 10.5 hours of integration I ended up with 8.5. Not nearly as big or as time consuming as my Sadr Mosaic, this felt more challenging in processing due to the amount of stars, dark nebula regions and intense reds. Clipping the shadows / blacks was a real issue and difficult to avoid while trying to bring out some vibrance in the nebula. .

North American & Pelican Nebula - Wanted to go back and attempt some new palette options since I am using a duo-band filter with the L-eNhanced. I extracted Ha & Oiii channels in Astro Pixel Processor, and then used the Extract Ha-Oiii Mono option to give a luminance, or in this case, simulate a substitute for a Sii channel. I used the HOss blending method - assigning the Ha and Oiii extractions to the Red Channel, then the Ha-Oiii extraction to both the Green and Blue channels. This was all done in APP. I then processed the image in Photoshop. I like this palette option as it feels a bit more muted but can still be vibrant, while showing off a little more detail. . 45 x 240s (6-5-2021) 7 x 300s (6-6-2021) 20 x 360s (9-11-2021) 6 x 300s (6-21-2022) 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

North American & Pelican Nebulae - HOO Palette After spending a couple of weeks shooting Broadband targets (Andromeda, M33, M45, etc), I decided I needed a break and go back to do a night of Narrowband. The night started with my two year old (Tiberius) somehow reseting my Astro Photography Tool settings. I was able to get everything thing back rolling (still a little shakey) and get a couple more hours of data on this target, plus around five hours on Heart & Soul Nebulae within the same frame. Here I stacked and separated the individual channels (the Ha and the Oiii) in Astro Pixel Processor and then combined then into a HOO image. I also simulated an Sii channel, but for today's post I really liked how the colors popped with this process. . 45 x 240s (6-5-2021) 7 x 300s (6-6-2021) 20 x 360s (9-11-2021) 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .

North American & Pelican Nebula I decided to go back and reprocess what I consider some of the best data I have, which is this data from over the Summer. I feel like every month I learn something new in my processing workflow and here, simply by stretching with levels vs curves in Photoshop, I was able to bring out more the the nebulosity and keep the brighter stars more muted. This target, located in a very bright portion of the constellation Cygnus, is one of my favorite to shoot. This data wastaken over three nights in Providence, RI (bortle 8). . 1 - with stars 2 - starless (this time my fav!) . 45 x 240s (6-5-2021) 7 x 300s (6-6-2021) 20 x 360s (9-11-2021) 800 ISO - Bortle 8 .
