Description

Ic1396A  Elephant's Trunk Nebula
The weather has been kind to me lately. I have had a lot of clear nights in the last two months. Taking 100% advantage of all of them, I once again had an image that I exposed for 47 hours. I use three programs to process the raw images. AstroPixelProcessor, PixInSight, Photoshop. I use Astropixel to merge hundreds of 10 minute images into one image, Pixi to make the main adjustments that form the backbone of the image and last but not least Photoshop to fine tune the image, resulting in a more contrasty, sharper, less noisy image with more vibrant colours than the raw image.
