Check out my Deep Space Course to learn more about astrophotography:

In this video I'll show my latest astro image taken with the Askar V telescope and ASI 2600MC Pro camera. This combo works very well together, and I've been having a lot of fun with the new system!

The target I focused on was the Elephant's Trunk Nebula. At ~400mm equivalent focal length, I was able to fill the frame nicely with the entire nebula region. I used the Optolong L-Enhance filter to cut out the neighborhood light pollution, and enhance the H-Alpha data.

I'll show my full processing workflow today, which utilizes PixInsight, the Russell Croman plugins, and Photoshop.
