Description

I've been working on this the whole weekend, I just love the range of colour in this object.
Its a three panel mosaic of IC1396 The Elephant Trunk Nebula.  Imaged with the 16in ODK and ASI2600 (Roboscopes Spain Pier9) ...Imaged at 1x1 then software binned 2x2...
Exposure time was only 40mins in each RGB channel for each panel, all 60s unguided on The DDM85.

Here is a short video showing the setup just after rebuilding it
