Pelican Nebula with Pentax 75 and 350d

[prokyon]

Hi all!

Yesterday I did my first pic of the Pelican Nebula. It was not easy, some low stratus crossed and I hat to interrupt for 1,5 hours. Lights were very noisy, temperature 59°F.

350d mod., Pentax 75 SDHF, 9x600s, ISO800, Darks and Flats

Werner,

That is superb.

Maybe it could be a little bit brighter?

Still, very impressive!

Hi Humayun,

brighter, you are right. But I had to find a compromise. The noise was very heavy caused by the high temperature. More light frames would help, maybe. But the clouds defeated my plan. :mad2:

Very nice! As you say, more lights would help to brighten the image, however as it is it has a very delicate look to it... A really nice image mate! well done...
