Target: Region of IC 5067 (Pelican Nebula, emission nebula in Cygnus) in tri-color narrowband (SII Ha OIII)
Distance from Earth: 1600 light-years
Image FOV: 35 x 24 arcmins
Mount: Takahashi NJP Temma II
Telescope: Takahashi TOA-130 refractor with TOA-130 0.78x reducer (f/6.0) and Astronomik 12nm SII filter, Astronomik 12nm Ha filter and Astronomik 12nm OIII filter
Camera: Starlight Xpress SXVF-H9 ccd guided by SX Autoguider with Takahashi FS-60C refractor (f/5.9)
Focus: Finger Lakes Instrumentation DF-2 focuser with FocusMax/MaxIm DL software
Images: Captured with MaxIm DL 4.60 at an image scale of 1.69 arcsec/pixel; 500 minutes (SII data), 230 minutes (Ha data), 400 minutes (OIII), total exposure time of 1130 minutes on Aug 31, 2009 and Sept 1, 5, 13, 14, 2009
Processing: MaxIm DL 5.05 and Photoshop CS3 with Noise Ninja; SII, Ha and OIII images processed individually in MaxIm DL and copied into PS. SII, Ha and OIII data mapped to R, G and B channels and combined in PS to produce an RGB image; image cropped
