Elephant’s Trunk Nebula - Wide Field

Tried to make the most of a pretty poor quality 2 hour capture by adding it to a previous 4 hours worth. 
 

Was very messy and I had to clean up without any effective flats.

You’ve coped well without effective flats 

You’ve captured a lot of dust!

Thanks Bryan.

All subs are 120s and the skies are officially rated as Bortle 4 but a challenging location (the balcony of my flat, overlooking our car park)
