Description

First light with the new scope! Going from F6 to F4 has made an even bigger difference than I had hoped for. What took 30 hours of data for the old scope only took 10 for this one. I was still getting things working during this project, so in the future I hope to collect a lot more data for individual narrowband projects now that everything is fully up and running. Featured here is a part of IC1396 that lies immediately next to the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, which is just out of frame. I'm not sure if this part of the nebula has a name, but it reminds me of a mountain with this orientation. (maybe Everest?)

Ha:     45x300s (3h45m)
Sii:      32x300s (2h40m)
Oiii:    40x300s (3h20m)
Total: 9h45m
