Pelican Nebula – Preliminary Processing

This is the preliminary result after 3 hours of data on the Pelican Nebula. It looks promising, but I’m a little unhappy with hour the color is developing. I used an abbreviated workflow here in Siril, where I did background extraction during the stacking. I think too much of the signal may have been removed during that process. I have a second night of data coming, and I’ll do a stack first, then a more manual and controlled background extraction.
