Description

IC 1396 - commonly known as Elephanttrunk nebula - a rather large target in the Northern Skies. With about 400mm FL and 24x26 camera you can grab the entire nebula in one shot without mosaic.
My current rendition is based on two parts - the stars were acquired with RGB filters and the nebula with HSO filters on my Hypergraph 6 = Sharpstar 150 with a QHY600M camera. Processing in APP, PixInsight, Affinity Photo 2.2 and Photoshop.
