Description

The Elephant's Trunk, IC 1396, imaged with a 7-nm hydrogen-alpha filter. Two nights of data, autoguiding was on the blink so 60 seconds was the longest I could expose. With Starnet++ I was able to process the nebulosity easily without blowing out the stars, which I added as a Photoshop layer afterwards.
