P Holdsworth Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hi all, here is my attempt at the pelican nebula. It's just 2.5 hours of data so just processed this one as regular RGB. It's captured with a stock DSLR and a L enhance filter but managed to get a reasonable amount of nebulosity considering the small amount of data. There's more noise than I would like because it's a DSLR but hoping to upgrade at some point to a cooled camera. I quite like the target and its fairly bright which helps with lack of camera sensitivity so may re visit this one again.Regards Paul 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazAstro Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Really nice ... For me , it looks more like a pelican when rotated 90° clockwise ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmack1 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thats a nice image. yes, The DSLR's can be a pain when its any way warm outside. I had the same problem with this same target last month. But I'd say you've overcome it pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don4l Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 That's a cracking result for an unmodded DSLR. I've heard that different DSLRs cut off the IR at different points. I'd guess that your camera is more sensitive than most DSLRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Very nice, not easy controlling noise on a DSLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Holdsworth Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 @dmack1Thank you. yes you're right it does reasonably well at picking up nebulosity but trying to control noise with it is a real challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Holdsworth Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 @markarThanks Mark.....yeah I'm hoping a cooled camera in the future will help with processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
