Description

Wide field image of the Elephant Trunk Nebula (IC 1396) captured at the Golden State Star Party in Adin, CA. The camera was a Hap Griffin modified Canon T3i and was captured with no filters and without a computer. Guiding was via a brand new SBIG SG-4 and it performed flawlessly. This version was processed with no darks, no flats and no bias frames. RAW data was converted into 16-bit tiff, then stacked in Nebulosity. Processing was done in Photoshop and consisted only of Curve and Color Balance adjustment layers.
