Description

I have done the Elephant nebula a couple times with my smaller 4" refractor. This year I wanted to do it again with my 6" SVX152 at f/7. I think this is my best version to date. I used RGB color data to colorize the stars that were isolated with StarXTerminator  on the narrow band data and converted to a luminance channel. This preserved more of the small stars and I think looks more natural than simply using the RGB stars.
