Description

The Elephant's Truck Nebula is one of the most captivating celestial objects in the summer sky.

This portrait of the head and trunk is the second of two narrowband images shot with my WO132mm and presented in the SHO palette. Along with an earlier wide field image shot with my RedCat 51mm, the photos provide a triptych of perspectives on this magnificent stellar cloud.
