Pelican Nebula

_config.yml

The Pelican Nebular is my first and only show-able astronomy picture from 2018. I shot the image on my 11 inch SCT with a Hyperstar and an Atik 490 Camera at Starfest, a Southern Ontario Star Party. The image created by stacking 21 Ha images (green), 29 Oiii images (blue) and 32 Sii images (red).
All sub-exposures were 2 minutes.

This was my third time controlling the telescope and camera from my Raspberry Pi 3 using KStars and Ekos. I’m hoping to get to a dark sky site at least once more time this year. Until then I’ll be practicing from my light polluted back deck in mid-town Toronto.
