The North America and Pelican Nebulae
================================================

Last night finally was cleat again and I had the chance to capture one of my long-time bucket list targets - the north america nebula (left area) and the pelican nebula (top center).
The huge dark area in the center also is called the "great wall" and is a huge dust lane that separates the two nebulae.

With this one, I'd like to show you multiple versions processed from the same dataset. The first one is a narrowband version in HOO palette, the second one is a "natural" RGB color version and the third one is RGB but without the stars.
For this particular target, I'm really torn on which version I like most. Specially the starless one is really interesting because it shows so much detail in the nebula core.
Do you have a favorite version? Let me know in the comments!
