Elephant trunk nebula wide-field (Optolong L-enhance filter)

Re-edit with GradientXTerminator plugin in Photoshop from data obtained on December 3. Eliminating the gradient enabled a wider field.

 

Used ISO3200 and 60 second subs for unguided test of a new iOptron Skyhunter mount. This was a bit short, but managed to capture a dark nebula (Barnard 169) above the elephant trunk nebula (IC1396).
