Description

This is my first narrowband image. The Elephant Trunk Nebula, IC 1396, is full of details. With slightly over 3-hour data per filter collected over 5 nights, I found it much easier to process with deconvolution than the M101 I took a few months ago. It is exciting to see the sharpening effects of successful deconvolutions, which reveals smaller details. I found it hard to stretch, partially because it's full of nebulosity and has little background. I might stretch it again using the new ghs tool in PI.
