Description

This image was taken before I upgraded the stock focuser on my old SV80, and there is some misalignment visible on the bottom of the image. I also need to work on my flattener spacing.

Besides the Elephant Trunk, my favorite aspect of this region is the presence of a dozen or so deep red stars from the Cool Galactic Carbon Stars catalog. They are flagged on the annotated image (version B) with a CGCS number. It's often the hidden gems that I find most appealing about astro images.
