Description

In a combination of exposures from 3 nights, the Askar FRA400 and the ASI2600MC Pro gives a fine view of the area around the Elephant Trunc, which contains a lot of nebulosity.

Unfortunately bringing out the faint contours has weekened the very trunc. Getting it more destinct will require more time on the object than the 7.5 hours  in this frame.
