Description

This is my first monochrome camera acquisition coming from OSC. Was a little nervous having to deal with filters, filter wheel and a new camera but in the end, the transition was not bad at all.

I felt IC1396 Elephant Trunk Nebula was a good first target as it has some good Ha and Oiii areas, and was placed well in the sky for me. Images were captured over the course of 4 nights and processed in Pixinsight
