Description

It's taken several years and lots of bad luck but I finally have a decent shot of the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. Even with this data set I had to throw away over 2 hours of bad shots due to clouds.

This shot is a total of 7 hours and 45 minutes of data. Nearly 6 hours of Ha, 1 hour of OIII, and 1 hour of SII. I would've gone for much more SII and OII but my time was limited.
