The Majestic Elephant's Trunk

Image Description and Details : I captured this image over three consecutive clear nights from my backyard observatory using my Esprit 100ED and ASI2600mm Pro camera with 6nm Astronomik SHO filters. Just over 15 hours of integration time using 300 second subs provided the wonderful detail surrounding this famous target.
