IC 1396 - Elephant Nebula

I was trying to test my new Optolong L-Extreme filter with a full moon. Unfortunately, clouds rolled in at the 50 minute mark. I was going to scrap the data but ended up playing with it for a bit and ended up pulling out enough for an image.

I first processed it bringing out the reds a lot more but decided to make it a bit more subtle instead. Not bad for such minimal data.
