Thank you for sharing. Finished up collecting data on the Elephant Trunk last week so this video is timely. Will probably process the subs either today or tomorrow. It's shaping up to being a cloudy weekend... so.. When the sky is a mess, it is time to process. Have a great weekend and clear skies!

Really nice job on the Elephant. Even your first shot holds up well still. Cool of your neighbors to keep their lights off :)

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

Thank you! My first shot will always have a special place in my heart that’s for sure! The neighbors are so great! I’ve known them my whole life, that helps! ;)

I imaged the Elephants trunk last weekend from a Bortle 3 site in Scotland. I used a zwo 533 mc pro camera on a redcat 51, with Askar C1/C2 filters. 20 x 180 sec subs for C1 filter and 80 x 180 sec subs for C2 filter to get as much Sulphur as I could, and I was blown away with the results

I’m sorry, but I have a little trouble watching when your camera moves erratically. My motion sickness won’t let me 😢

[@Bekindtoyourmind143]

I’m so sorry!! I’ve gotta come up with a better way. I will do better moving forward. 🙏🏻
