As always at full moon the night is perfect, if there were not the disturbing moonlight. As the summer milkyway slowly rises again over my house roof in the north-east direction, I rang the nebula season today and tried to capture the elephant's trunk with a large focal distance. A classic narrowband object - and with the moonstand only at all feasible.

This is also borderline, if the object is too close to the moon. In this case, fortunately, I had the best conditions one can have at any time at moon, because the nebula is just at the opposite in the sky. In order to get as many frames as possible, I chose 600 sec. exposures. One for narrowband and my circumstances quite short single exposure time. After all, it was necessary for a meaningful stack of frames for a complete Hubble pallette within the one night.

Although I had no committee, only 5.2 hours have come together - so short are the nights meanwhile. An H-Alpha version looks like this:

And here a raw version of the hubble palette:
