Hi,

 

Here is an image of the Pelican Nebula using 3nm narrowband filters and
processed with the Hubble Palette. There is much more OIII than I expected.
I had assumed this nebula would be heavy in Ha and light in SII and OIII,
but there was almost as much OIII as Ha. I did not expect this, but it did
result in a nice blue color in the main part of the nebula.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

 

Thanks,

 

Bernard
