The Elephant's Trunk nebula

[codeman]

Hi,

I took this photo during Sep, Oct and Nov of 2015 with over 14 Hours of exposure.

This is the longer exposure I ever made on one object, personal record

Thanks much,

Yes, it's excellent. Lots of data is the way, the true way and the only way to create great images.

Nice detail... Not only is it the longest exposure PB for you but obviously your tracking was spot on, well done.

Nice--I want to use my C11edge to get the trunk too.  Here's my wide field shot--only 9 hours of exposure.  I am new so processing was very basic.  No flats, darks or biases.  I find the processing to be difficult.
