Description

🌌 Weather Woes and Lunar Glows 🌕✨

The Elephant Trunk Nebula has been a challenging yet captivating target! 🐘💫 Despite battling the worst weather and persistent full moons, I collected 3.5 hrs of Ha and Oiii data and 4 hrs of Oiii and Sii data. 📸🌠

Unfortunately, it seems the cosmos has other plans, and I won't be able to continue for at least a week. 😔 Nevertheless, I've poured my heart into processing the data captured, and the results are promising! 🎨🤩

Fingers crossed for clear skies ahead to resume this cosmic journey, or perhaps I'll set my sights on the next mesmerizing target! 🚀🔭 Stay tuned for more astro-adventures! ✨💪
