Title: IC1396 Elephant Trunk / 490EX Mono / Narrow Band
Post by: SoCalJohn on November 12, 2017, 03:32:13 pm

Just got my 490Ex Mono and took it for a test drive.  Only had time for a few shots the other night.  (5) 900sec Ha, (2) 900sec OIII and (2) 900sec SII.  Wanted to take more SII and OIII, but clouds started to show up. Taken with an Edge 11", HyperStar and AP1100.  Thanks for looking, John.

Hi John,

This is a beautifully captured Elephant Trunk. Especially if it's your first try with the camera! Could be possible to know which SW did you use to process the image?

Thanks a lot for sharing it with us :)

Thanks for your nice comment about my photo, Iria.  I captured the data with Maxim DL, then stacked it with CCD Stack.  After that I used the Selective Color in Photoshop to get the end color result.  I did not use any other processing with Photoshop other than adjusting the colors.  This is how sharp it came out with the stock data.  I am so pleased with this camera.
