Here is some of the work I have been doing over the last few years. A lot of it has been done with two Starlight Xpress Cameras I own. First was an Hx-916 and later an SXV-H9. More recently I've been using an SBIG ST-4000XMC color camera (see Latest Images).
As I progress in this hobby it seems as though I'm never satisfied with them. New cameras, new scopes, new processing skills seems to keep the goal always just out of reach, which keeps this pursuit always challenging and always new. It looks like I'll never run out of things to image in the night sky. And if I do, I'm sure I'll find new reasons to start over again.
IC 1396 is a star cluster with associated nebula. The Elephant Trunk is the dark nebula and is sometimes refered to as vdB 142. Actually vdB 142 is the small yellowish reflection nebula in the snout of the trunk.
