January 10, 2024: Elephant's Trunk in HOO palette

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

I managed to get 2 hours of O-III and 88 minutes of H-alpha to add to the 86 minutes of H-alpha from January 9, all collected with one of my Samyang 135mm F/2 lenses and my ASI183MM-Pro, with ZWO Mini-EFW and Baader F/2 filter set, on the iOptron HEM15 mount. Stacked the whole shebang in APP and tweaked curves in Gimp. Of course, I would like more data, but I am pretty chuffed with my first colourful Elephant's Trunk

That really doesn't look like a camera lens image, does it. Excellent result.

It helps to have a cooled astro camera behind the lens. I should really have used the dual rig on the target and captured OSC with the ASI183MC-Pro I have.
