IC1396 - Elephants trunk

[JohnC64]

Well this is such an iconic target, I can't think why I haven't paid it a visit before. The data almost processed itself,  the simplest of levels and curves, with a quick sharpen. The only negative for me is that the focus is a little soft but it was a nice treat to catch a few hours in the obsy

12 x 10min in 3nm Ha.
Thanks for looking

Hi John

I prefer version 1 think 2 has gone too far.  1 maybe with a little sharpening and a fraction of the adjustments you have made in 2 would work for me.

You point out focus is soft thus stars a little bloated but nice work given that challenge.

Yes I think that I prefer version 1 too.  I have a few hours later on Wednesday showing as clear on clear outside so think i will repay a visit to this target.  

Cheers John
