The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula.
Second time imaging. The first time was in 2020.11.03. The main difference in my setup between this image and last is using the Radian Triad Ultra Quad-Band Narrowband filter. It is a very awesome filter. Pricey. But awesome. Also, my exposure time is at 600s where last time it was 300s.
The other main factor is my post processing has gotten better. I am trying to not over curve or over saturate the image. Etc. I’m being a bit more careful in the adjustments I’m making. Definitely help getting images that captured some great detail too. Maybe that made it easier in the post process.
