Description

IC 1396 - Elephant Trunk Nebula

This is a stack of 79 x 120s subs.

There was a ton of walking noise and the nebula was so very faint from my Nikon D3300 DSLR. This was very tough to get to even this point. I had to do a large amount of heavy handed processing just to pull out any "usable" data. But, I wanted to put it here anyways to record my progress as I learn.

Also, this is 2x drizzle of the original 200mm wide field so, it also was not very sharp.
