Default Elephant Trunk.

Hello to all:
Like the shining Moon still this, last night I aimed at the nebula Elephant Trunk, IC1396.
By all means, the humidity arrived and I had to stop the budgeted thing of time for this object, so 200 minutes were only reversed to him.
Since I have not finished to the processing and lack much light in the dark zones but, I decided to present trimmed it in rectangular format, when it accumulates but time finishes and it I post it in all resolution.
Thanks beforehand to come to see it.

Those came out well. I can't seem to work with a full moon even with narrow band filters. You do a much better job. Especially like the last one which seems to bring out the detail best. Not sure why.

Hello to all:
Thank you very much by the comments.
I yesterday tried to do but frames of light in this object, being useful that the Moon would leave behind schedule, but the clouds interposed, so I decided go to home. When it went in the automobile, the sky was sprightly.
Rick, the photo of the B33 zone, was realised with a filter of Hydrogen-alpha of 3 nm. Since done with very fast telescope, f/2.8, and with the Full Moon at 97%, drew attention of Don Goldman, and via email took the annoyance to say it to me, which I thank to him.
Many greetings
Cesar
