North America and Pelican Nebula in Ha

[Paramount]

Hi
A clear night last night albeit with limited imaging time due to the short nights, this is the first stage of a colour narrow band image of this area. It was taken with the FSQ106ED f5 and Starlight Xpress H36 with a 5nm Ha filter, 8x20 minute exposures with guiding via the Lodestar and OAG on a Paramount ME with dithering used. I have had a go two years ago at both of these objects but separately and these can be seen for comparison on the Nebulae page of the image gallery on my website http://www.imagingtheheavens.co.uk
Hopefully the weather will play ball so that I can get the rest of the data.
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon

Very nice Gordon, your NB images are a cut above the rest. Must be all the practice you do and the nice gear youre using.
Beautiful.

Gaud, thats stretched to within an inch of its life, lucky you got the gear/data to get away with it, awesome detail.
