Description

IC1396 or the Elephant Trunk Nebula was shot on 10/14/2020 from Ocean Springs, MS. under Bortle 4 shy's. I used an Esprit 120ED Triplet with an Apex L focal reducer/Flattener. 560mm at f 4.55. This was shot with 20 lights, 20 Darks, and 20 flat Darks. All through an Optolong L-Extreme filter. All times were 20x240 seconds for all three images. This is the first time I have imaged with this setup which included the QHY247C CMOS Camera, all done in Pixinsight as a real beginner. I can only improve from here.
