Elephant’s Trunk in Widefield


Recommended Posts

Elephant’s Trunk Nebula in Widefield. 

This is a work in progress as it’s a very limited capture of only 40 x 120s, due to the restricted view from my balcony. Will need to do another couple of nights at least.

That's all looking very good.

I am really interested to see Samyang 135mm + ASI294MC-Pro images; I've been scouring Astrobin to see what people are achieving with this combo. The CCD Calculator tell you "This combination leads to significant under-sampling" but your image is very pleasing to look at and even stands up well to the dreaded pixel-peeping - not that I would ever advocate doing such a thing ;) 

I bought my Samyang 135mm a few years ago but only relatively recently acquired the ASI294MC-Pro with the intention of using it primarily on my 6" RC - a good match according to the Calculator. I currently have the 135+294 set up and ready to go - just need some clear, dark, moonless nights - not too much to ask for really!

Thanks for sharing.
