Description

Captured over 9 different nights of the same month for a total of 12 hours of integration at Bortle7, mostly with a waning moon. I'll work on framing next time as this the central point of the elephant trunk nebula according to asi-air.

I spent more time carefully processing this one; I used starnet to separate the nebulosity from the stars, and some masks to to stretch the gasses by itself. Found it a little tricky around the bright stars resulting in some minor artifacts. I did SPCC color calibration before stretching, so its pretty neat to see that these are the colors (only amplified via stretches).
