NGC7000 + IC5070; "NORTH AMERICA" & "PELICAN" NEBULAE (SHO BLEND)
As a newbie to Astrophotography, these emission nebulae in the Cygnus constellation are my favorite celestial targets, commonly known as the North America nebula (left) and the Pelican nebula (right). I utilized my S+H+O narrowband technique, to help me create the final rendition with depth and multi dimensional contrast. I incorporated a cool Paintshop pro plugin to make a small amount of the brightest stars sparkle, in order to create an interesting light effect.
