Description

The Elephant Trunk is one of my favorite deep sky objects but also one of the most difficult to process correctly. This is my first SHO image with my new camera and filters. The color balance was easy with the Chroma filters as compared to my previous attempt using ZWO filters. I have to say I do like the ease of processing with the QHY and its 16200 CCD chip as compared to the CMOS chip in the ZWO1600 that I had previously. Ultimately I will likely add some more integration time to this as I really enjoy the subject.

Description: Backed off the red just a touch; It actually gave the image a bit more depth.
