Elephant Trunk - Ha

[Z3roCool]

Took my first shot of the Elephant Trunk since getting a dedicated camera. This is just under 2 hours of 5 min subs. Took another few hours in OIII but did not get my focus nailed so stars look terrible   Will do again but after 4 nights of 3AM finishes could not do another!

Details:

ZWO 1600 MM Pro

 22 x 5min Subs in Ha

Canon 400mm 5.6 lens

That's come out rather well indeed!  Could the Oiii be rescued in Starnett++ and still be used??

Great idea. Had not thought of that, just running through StarNet now to see what it looks like. Thanks

You could always combine your ha and O111 subs then add the ha layer again as a luminance, then blur the original ha O111 layer

Will give that a go, will have to have a play as pretty new to NB and Photoshop!

Tried to Starless fix...Stars are a lot better and at least got a bit of colour in....will have to go again as my PS skills are terrible! A quick edit anyway to see if the stars were kept in check. Thanks for the suggestion.
