IC 5070 The Pelican Nebula in the constellation Cygnus

The Pelican Nebula is an active star forming region about 2,000 light years away in the constellation of Cygnus the swan. For details on equipment used, software, etc., see: IC 5070 Pelican Nebula ( PSugg ) - AstroBin

Still getting used to the OSC (ASI294MC Pro) camera (gain, offset, exposure time), along with capturing, guiding, etc. The ASI AIR Pro has made everything much easier. A nifty little piece of equipment. This shot of the Pelican Nebula was taken using the AT65EDQ scope and the Optolong L-eNhance narrowband filter on the EQ8 mount. The L-eNhance really captures the H-alpha well. I think the moon was about 6 days old. This was just over 4 hours integration time.
