Description

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula and parts of the IC1396 region in HOO and SHO. This was taken across multiple nights at the Milwaukee Astronomical Society in New Berlin, WI. Processed in PixInsight. For the SHO version, I chose not to fully remove the green (kept about 15% of it) since I found it gave a little better contrast.
