First Ha light for the ASI1600mm Pro. I'll need to add a lot more data, and re-frame this one later.
Planning/trying to get some OIII and SII to RETRY (!!) this.
New setup is ST2K on the 80mm Celestron,guided by the Vixen
Really missing my CGE Pro.....
The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula is part of a much bigger area ionised gas in the IC 1396 region of the constellation Cepheus. It is ~2400 light years away.
This image was created on a single moonless night (4 June 2021) from 40x 4min exposures giving a total integration time of 2 hours 40 mins.

Altair 60mm guidescope with GPCAM3 385C
Altair Hypercam 294C Pro Tec – Gain @400 , 50 Black level and cooled to -10⁰C
IDAS D2 Light Pollution Suppression Filter
same data...by not stretching the highlites (AT ALL) I was able to use "GREYCstoration",which in Pix is an excellent noise reduction tool..!
Loving it....
Added Data to an old set - 2025 edit
About 36 Hours Exposure with Spacecat51 and ASI533 MC Pro set to -10 degree and Unitygain. Off-Axis Guiding with PHD2. Autofocus via Deepskydads AF3. SGPro for Acquisition. Processing in PixInsight
I used the Baader UHC-S Filter but it produces Halos around Stars. Added some Data from a Set taken with the L-Xtreme and removed some of the Halos.

Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a nebula, a structure of gas and dust, located in the constellation Cepheus. It belongs to a lot larger emission nebula IC 1396 (the entire red object in the image). The elephant's trunk itself is only a small part (in the middle of the crop in the second image), which really looks like a curled elephant's trunk. The whole nebula is ionized by a massive star in the center and is home to very young stars. It lies at a distance of 2400 light years and has a size of 6 full moons in the night sky!
The obviously red star at the edge of the nebula is called Herschel's Garnet Star or Erakis. It was noted by William Heschel, who described it as "a very fine deep garnet colour, such as the periodical star Omicron Ceti (variable star in Cetus)". It is one of the largest known stars with a radius of around 1.2 billion km and is expected to explode "soon" like a supernova and become a black hole.
There is also a part of Sh2-129 (the Squid Nebula) in the lower right corner.
I took this image in August with my modified Canon EOS 1300D and CLS filter. It was made from only less than two hours because of a short night and clouds, but it still looks pretty good.

The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula is an emission nebula in the constellation Cepheus. This image was created by stacking 44 120 sec and 14 300 sec exposures taken with a Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED telescope and a QHY-268C OSC. Stacking and image processing with Siril, GraXpert, and Adobe Photoshop.
This was my second attempt at the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. I wasn't really happy with how the first image turned out. This time around I used the L-Ultimate dual narrowband filter to capture the Ha and OIII bands. I like this result a lot better although I'd like to see more of the OIII in the image. This image was created by stacking 75 300 sec exposures taken with a Sky-Watcher Esprit 100ED telescope and a QHY-268C OSC. Stacking and image processing with Siril, GraXpert, and Adobe Photoshop.
