NGC5070 Pelican nebula DSLR

20140727_NGC5070_Canon350D_mtsalkidis

Just found some data from the early tries in astrophotography from the summer of 2014 and gave them a go at post processing.
A lot of comma on the edges since I didn’t have an FFR at the time.
The image was captured with a Canon 350D with IR mod (filter removal). Halos around the stars are due to UHC-S filter.

This image contains: Pelican nebula, IC 5070, The star 57Cyg, The star 56Cyg
