Description

Find the Elephant! Enjoy!

Had a couple clear nights and getting some better data. Testing a range of exposures with the new mount.

Finally getting some nebulosity in the images. Still trying to figure out how to boost the nebula regions. I didn't want to push anymore or it started looking strange. Will try some more later.
