Here is my first attempt at imaging the Pelican Nebula in Cygnus (IC5070)
in H-alpha. I used a StellarVue SVQ100 APO refractor, ZWO 183MM PRO camera,
and Astrodon Tru-Balance H-alpha filter (5nm bandpass). The total
integration time is 11 hours. All image processing was carried out in
PixInsight.

The full resolution image is at:

Enjoy.

Here's a better rendition with more contrast. I made use of a star mask
before adding color.
