Description

Elephant's Trunk Nebula (1396A) inside (1396) sometimes called Northern Rosette Nebula. 
 Need to go back and capture this with less focal length to see more of the area. I purchased the Celestron C8 to be able to capture close detail like this. Needed a better mount to support 5 minute exposures. AM3 is the one for me.
