Description

Its rain and cloud time of the year. I am using this time to reprocess some good old data. 

Elephant Trunk Nebula -
Nebulae captured with a cheap but mighty SV125 Access, from bortle 2 skies & Light polluted Los Angeles Suburbs. RGB Stars captured with SW Esprit 150 from bortle 6 skies. 
Total integration - 9 hours
8 hours SHO & 1 hour RGB stars 

The star colors are boosted to keep up with the vibrance of the nebula.

Processed in Pixinsight - 
DBE -> BlurXterminator -> StarXterminator -> NoiseXterminator -> ChannelCombination -> Stretch (ArcSinhstretch, HistogramTransformation, EZStretch, GHS as and when needed) -> Add Ha as Luminance -> Tweak Stretch with GHS -> Convoution -> Curves Transformation -> Add processed stars.
