Description

My first try of the Elephant Trunk Nebula on my new QHY183M camera on my 80mm apo. This is just my first pass on the processing. I need new darks. My darks were made at a different gain setting so they did not fully remove the Starburst amp glow that the 183 chip has. I also had one sub with a satellite trail in it, so need to remove that. Still, all in all some good data. I am happy with this camera. This was 28 x 180” in Ha
