Description

One of my favorite targets in Cepheus, and an image where I tried to spend time prioritizing acquisition of Oiii and Sii data.

A great late spring/early summer region of space from my location. I was able to gather a total of 33 hours of data during a relatively short period to create this image. I combined the data as an SHO palette for this image, but I tried several other combinations which also worked well, particularly OHS and HSS.

I hope to shoot this again this coming year with my 8" ONTC to focus more on the main "elephant's trunk" portion.
