IC 5070

Subject:IC 5070, the Pelican Nebula
Telescope:Takahashi FSQ-106n f/5
Mount:Losmandy G-11
Imager:SBIG ST-8XME non-ABG CCD with CFW-10 narrow band filters
Image Details:This is an Ha, SII, OIII composite image using the following integration times:
H-Alpha Luminance: 90 minutes
H-Alpha Red: 30 minutes
S-II Green: 30 minutes
O-III Blue: 30 minutes
The images were then combined to make a single luminance and a single LRGB color layer. The color layer had both contrast and saturation increased followed by a slight Gaussian blur. The luminance layer and the LRGB color layers were then combined using standard luminance layering techniques in Photoshop.
