IC 5070 - Pelican Nebula

I did guide with an off axis guider.  I haven't yet done an APPM "run" with my Mach2.

Thanks for sharing Stacey - that’s beautiful and a lot of data in a short time!  Did you guide and use APPM?  

Thanks, Bob

Monday night had good "seeing" though transparency wasn't great with typical summer haze.  Even the summer Milky Way was hard to see.  I got 25 360s images of the Pelican Nebula through a combined Ha/OIII L-Extreme filter.  Unfortunately the Pelican is virtually all hydrogen and certainly not as photogenic as the Veil nebula.  Oh well.  I've planned out a 4-panel mosaic of the complete east/west Veil but unfortunately I can't image tonight as I'm about to drive to Richmond RIC to pick up my daughter and family for a 10-day visit.   I'm hoping to get the Veil mosaic before it moves off to the west if I can get two good nights.
