Jakob MiskellBefore I collected the last data of the Elephant's Trunk this month, I slewed to the Ring Nebula before it got fully dark out and imaged it for 17 minutes with the L-eNhance filter. It was considerably smaller than I thought it was going to be at 700mm of focal length, but BlurXTerminator and the 1.1"/pixel resolution came in clutch and allowed me to crop the image substantially to reveal the Ring up close. 34x30s lights (17 minutes), flats, biases stacked and edited in PixInsight. ---- 🌌 Ring Nebula (M57) 🔭 Meade RB-70 (Scope), SkyWatcher GTi (Mount) 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main) 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8) ---- <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ringnebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ringnebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebulae?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebulae</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/planetarynebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#planetarynebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/planetarynebulae?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#planetarynebulae</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/m57?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#m57</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixinsight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixinsight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/optolong?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optolong</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/optolonglenhance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#optolonglenhance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playerone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playerone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeroneastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playeroneastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arescpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeronearescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playeronearescpro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skywatchergti?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skywatchergti</a>

Jakob MiskellI’m so glad that I spent more time on the Elephant’s Trunk! A lot of faint nebulae were visible in my last image but now that I have over 10 hours on it, it all just pops out. It gives the trunk a lot of contrast, revealing all of the detailed structure it has. I even gave BlurXTerminator a go which fixed the star shapes and sharpened up the nebulae, and made the already-detailed trunk even more incredible. 421x90s lights (10.53 hours), darks, flats, biases stacked and edited in PixInsight. ---- 🌌 The Elephant's Trunk (IC 1396) 🔭 Meade RB-70 (Scope), SkyWatcher GTi (Mount) 📸 Player One Ares-C Pro (Main) 📅 Bloomington, MN (Bortle 8) ---- <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/highpointscientific?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highpointscientific</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/elephantstrunknebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elephantstrunknebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ic1396?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ic1396</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pixinsight?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pixinsight</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/graxpert?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graxpert</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playerone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playerone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/playeroneastronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playeroneastronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sonysensor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sonysensor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/arescpro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arescpro</a>
