July 2010 AstroPhotography Contest Winner:
Elephants Trunk Nebula by Paramount


Hi
I took this image over 3 nights finishing it at the beginning of July, It is of IC1396 which is a large expansive emission nebula including the Elephants Trunk Nebula. It was taken with a Takahashi FSQ106ED and Starlight Xpress SXVF H36 on a Paramount ME, it is 12x20 for Ha and 9x20 each for OIII and SII mapped to the HST palette, autoguiding was done by a Lodestar camera and OAG
Thanks for looking
Best wishes
Gordon
