Description

IC1396 never fails to amaze me it’s such an absolutely mind blowing nebula, the colour contrast using this palette really helps emphasise the elephant trunk in the centre.

This image was taken with my colour ASI1600MC-Pro and Radians Triad Ultra Quadband filter for OSC cameras

The Canon lens was stopped down to around f/4 with the use of step down filter rings

Around 6 hours of 600s subs stacked in DSS. Processed entirely in Photoshop
