Jakob MiskellI’m so glad that I spent more time on the Elephant’s Trunk! A lot of faint nebulae were visible in my last image but now that I have over 10 hours on it, it all just pops out. It gives the trunk a lot of contrast, revealing all of the detailed structure it has. I even gave BlurXTerminator a go which fixed the star shapes and sharpened up the nebulae, and made the already-detailed trunk even more incredible.<br> <br> 421x90s lights (10.53 hours), darks, flats, biases stacked and edited in PixInsight.<br> ----<br> 🌌 The Elephant's Trunk (IC 1396)<br> 🔭 Meade RB-70 (Scope), SkyWatcher GTi (Mount)<br> 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main)<br> 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8)<br> ----<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/elephantstrunknebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elephantstrunknebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ic1396?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ic1396</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixinsight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pixinsight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/graxpert?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#graxpert</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playerone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#playerone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeroneastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#playeroneastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sonysensor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sonysensor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#arescpro</a>
