Description

Two Overlapping panels on the Elephant Trunk Nebula area.  Panels  overlap 45% on this target. SHO with color shift and saturation boost. Imaged over 3 partial nights.

I planned on one more night for the panel that is on the left side in this image. Unfortunately, the declination is in "pier crash" area for me. I had to pause for two hours before I could have the mount flip. I didn't trust my NINA skills so I got up at 1:30 am and then again at 3:30 am to make sure nothing went wrong. I decided this is good enough and I will take advantage of the clear nights on another target so I can sleep through the night...
