Pelican in ha!

Hi all,
I made it out last night determined to shoot something in ha,I chose the Pelican nebula grin

Seeing was very good and the skies started off fairly clear with just a few thin high clouds in the area so I set up to take 2 hours of ha and 30 minutes each of RGB.
Looks like clouds rolled in sometime during the last ha sub as I had to toss it and all the RGB :C

So,this is 110 minutes of ha with an Astrodon 6nm filter in 10 minute subs.
Taken with a ST-2000xm on a Stellarvue SV80L at F5.
Mounted piggyback on my Vixen VC200L on a G-11.

My first ha grin

Thanks for looking and any processing tips appreciated!

Jason
