Reflection nebula embedded in HII. The newly processed data from my first astrophoto taken with my Baader 95/580 CaF2 Travel Companion APO in 2023.

Reprocessed 2024: My 2023 and 1st try ever of the 7000 LJ away nebula in the constellation serpens. And my only real Astrophoto with my Takahashi FS-60CB.
IC 1396A, also known as the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula, is a dark globule and star-forming region located in the constellation Cepheus, approximately 2,400 light-years away from Earth, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight mid August.
More likely Around August 14th.

Messier 42 – Orion Nebula
The Orion Nebula is a diffuse nebula in the Orion constellation and a well-known region of star formation, where an active region of interstellar matter can be found that is illuminated by young, hot stars.
In my new workflow, even the trapezium comes to light. I’ve added more color to my 2024 version of the picture.
While reprocessing all my “old” material, this is the first picture I took with my Vixen VC200L. The difference is hard to believe.
A short evening with a result, but it could use at least double the exposure time.
The new workflow shows his power also on duo-narrowband material.
The picture combines HA/OIII nebula with RGB stars.
