Description

First attempt at imaging IC 1396, the Elephant's trunk nebula. Chromatic aberation in the old lens and the extra red light due to the full spectrum modded camera led to the red channel being slightly out of focus, but it was okay for a first try. Lens was set at f/5.6, camera at ISO 800.
