NA & Pelican Nebulae, 2500ly away in SHO

Starting to use Hubble Pallet for mono images is a new adventure. I like the way this one turned out and I have so much to learn. I must say I very much like the details using SHO. With an OSC you get a very red pic. This shows more detail and to my eye is more pleasing.
Florida is in the center of the pic and Mexico is in the lower center. I outlined the pelican nebula because it is not an easy on to visualize.
ASI2600MM Pro g100, AskarV@384f4.8 +darks/biases/flats, Ha 23 10min pics (3.8 hours exposure), O3 26 10min pics (4.3 hours exposure), S2 40 10min pics (6.7 hours exposure), RGB images used for stars, +darks/biases/flats taken over multiple nights 7/22/26-8/1/26.
AM5/ASIair+, EAF, Askar OAG with ASI174mini for guiding
PixInsight 100%.
To create the stars I used a RGB image. For this image I combined the Ha, O3 & S2 into Hubble Pallet (SHO). So much to learn about developing SHO images.
