Description

The Elephant Trunk nebula in RGB

Taken with Edge HD14 and U16M.

Guided with Skyris 274 and MetaGuide in OAG config.

2.6 hours of R, 2.3 hours of G, and 2 hours of B, with 20 minute subs.

It is very hard to tell what is gradient and what is real in this image. I'm pretty sure the brightening in the lower left is not real but otherwise it is correct.
