IC 1396 The Elephant Trunk Nebula with The New Setup!

This is my first- light full imaging run using my new SW HEQ 5 Pro mount and Asi Air Pro.
I really like this new light weight setup. I can carry the whole rig out to the backyard in one trip! This will be a secondary rig for wide-field imaging using the Samyang 135mm lens attached to the Zwo 071 Mcpro. And being controlled by the Asi Air Pro.
Last night it performed a meridian flip with no hitches! It's great , because I can control everything from my Tablet inside the air conditioned house. It was 94 degrees f last night at 9pm when I started the imaging session.
Anyways, this is my first-light of the familiar Elephant Trunk Nebula. I chose to image because I could get three hours on both sides of the meridian. Hope you like it!
Lens was set at f/2.8

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
