Description

The Elephant's Trunk Nebula, or IC 1396. Although shot with a duo band filter on an OSC camera, I tried to process it as HOO or the Hubble palette, but it turned out very noisy and muddy. I decided to ditch the usual color themes and just play with colors in Photoshop--since with the narrowband filter, it's all false colors anyway. While quite unconventional, I actually quite like how the final image turns out.
