Description

I really enjoy this view of the Elephant Trunk Nebula structure - it gives the impression of looking down a gunbarrel, as this vast bubble of dust and gas has gaps facing us and facing away from us.

This is the first image taken with my newly-assembled wide field narrowband imaging rig - Samyang/Rokinen 135mm lens, ASI183mm and AVX mount. It worked well so far, and I'm looking forward to capturing further large targets!
