Description

Recent rework of data from last year, using my updated drizzle workflow to focus in on the Elephant Trunk. This image is a blend of two separately processed versions, one in HOS, the other in HSO. I'm happy with how this one turned out, but I need to gather more data this year to improve it. Much as I love my Meade 70mm Quad Apo, I'll probably retake this target with a bigger scope with a longer focal length when the dark nights return.

Total integration time was only 125 minutes
