Description

Elephant trunk nebula shot during the full moon with Ha-modded Canon 600D and Rokinon 135mm f/2 lens. First attempt at guiding in RA only on Skyguider Pro, with 300 second subs. Since the moon was so bright, I stopped the lens down with a step-down ring to 48mm and shot through an Optolong l-eNhance filter.

30 flats and dark flats, and 24 darks. Calibrated and stacked in APP, final tweaks in GIMP.
