- Deep Sky Astrophotography - The Elephant's Trunk Nebula
The Elephant's Trunk Nebula is a collection of cosmic gas and dust within IC 1396. This incredible deep-sky astrophotography target is located in the constellation Cepheus more than 2,000 light-years away from Earth.
Full Details: astrobackyard....
In this video, I'll photograph the Elephant's Trunk Nebula using the Sky-Watcher Esprint 100ED Super APO and a ZWO ASI294 MC Pro Camera.

The music man! Mass effect always gives me goosebumps
Rudy!!
You weren’t kidding when you said photogenic. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for showing your amazing work with us
Just listened to the latest astrobackyard podcast, loved the topic! Had to look up the image of the guy who imaged Rho Ophiuchus with 1 second subs when it was over.
So glad you enjoyed it Gabe. Your dedication to this channel astounds me. It means a lot:)
AstroBackyard This channel means a lot to me too haha. Summer's over and I'm finally back in the game again, I just took my first guided image from a dark sky and I'm so happy with the result! I have a Lacerta Mgen II standalone autoguider, I'm so glad I found it because there seems to be almost no resources on it online. I'd love to see you talk about it on the podcast or use it and review it one day! From what I've seen it's one of the only standalones that are worth your time. Standalones are definitely so so convenient for guys like me with tiny portable imaging rigs.
Can you link that Rho Opiuchi thing? Thanks!
Gabe Sewell zzx
I’m dying to try out deep space photography and your videos are really informative which is great 👍 when I do finally get the chance I’ll do a video on my channel too 😀
Sheard Photography I can’t wait!
Hello from France Astrobackyard ! What is the best 85ed you ever used?
I’m a total newbie and I watch your content and I’m very well informed with your information. Very impressed you conduct yourself in a positive and professional manner and I enjoy every captured image. 👏 I’ve been thinking on this particular telescope 120mm for my first and now seeing this amazing video I’m totally blown away by the whole experience you had and good job on an unboxing video. 🖖🇬🇧
Are you Freaked for Bats in Night Time? I have Many Experience in Night one Time I where in my Backyard with my Celestron Nexstar 130SLT Telescope a Bat came and hanged on that Telescope Tube and made me to Total freak out LOL That condition I hope it'll never be happen in my Life in Future ,That Experience is Worst Experience in my Life although now Whenever I go outside I starts to play any kind of FM radio to immigrate and Frustrate the Bats so Now I'm Freed from the Bats now I feel happy at Stargazing and Asteroid Hunting , I use Celestron 9.25" SCT for Asteroid Hunting Purpose
Love your work bro..
Stunning images as always..
Wish you the best...
lovely as always trevor, ive been wondering if u can make a Q&A video for us, we'd like to know more about you lol , love u man
Currently out shooting the Pinwheel Galaxy with my ZenithStar 61 that just came in today (first telescope ever), so this time I’m taking YOU along for the journey. 🌌
i love APT.. software works great.. his come a long way with it..
Wow, what a photograph! Elephant trunk nebula is Beautiful
I want to do astrophotography and I’m willing to spend the money. I’m a noob tho and only know how to use my dobsonian 12 inch to manually find stuff and look at lol. All I see is white fuzz on all the nebulae but I took a 10 second exposure shot of Orion and it looked spectacular. But I wanna do what you do lol but I don’t know where to start
I saw it once with my ten inch reflector under extremely humid b3 dark sky along with the heart nebula, some of the faint IC nebula are visible in 6 inch plus instruments
I know this video is a year old but which scope do you prefer the carbon fiber explorer 100 or the William optics 100 that you used in this video.
Mate are you really in brotle 8 skies ? I'm I brotle 8 skies and I always have to take loads of images before I can start to see anything .some people have it easy and some have it hard .some people can take one image and see loads of data because they in good skies but living in brotle 8 skies is hard work with the light pollution mate
Beautiful image Trevor. Love it. Came out really good. I liked the telescope, it is already on my list. Do you know this is the cheapest telescope in the high-end telescopes that are portable? One day may be :-)
Sahrawi histoire 1976 Le Sahara occidental capital de le monde car le dernier gouvernement du mahdi lmontader c'est logique pour information
I increase binning to maybe 3 or 4 times at lower exposure to pull out stars near dim objects I wish to view.
what a beautiful video!
that looks so impressive!
really enjoyed watching all of this :D
thanks for sharing this with us
What star tracker did you use with this telescope? Thinking about getting one👍
I'm considering getting a H alpha clip in filter for my Canon EOS 100D but would that be a bad choice since the camera is not mono? Wouldn't it just pick up 4x less data with a colour camera compared to a mono?
Fantastic image Trevor! Inspiring as always, CS.
I would love to see u do a photograph of the ring nebula.. thats my favorite deep sky object to look at ..
Can you photograph betelguese
Rubin Kier's book is great. I have a copy signed by him.
Iam so happy I subscribed your channel .. imagine the effort he is putting ... I welcome you to my country Maldives 😃 . To do night sky here ... Please ...
and another great inspiring video !
Thanks brother
@@AstroBackyard What is the name of the music at last?
Very beautiful work thanks trevor,was fantastic!
Trevor.....great video. Glad too see you got your hands on an esprit 100. I have it on my losmandy G11. With qhy168c camera. Took awhile with lots of help from friends to figure how to attach ff since i upgraded focuser to a moonlite. But we got it. Using a filter drawer infront of camera for my LPR filter and Ha. Good to see Rudy lol. Your doing a great thing for the amatuer astronomy community.
Trevor!!! As always... EXTREMELY GOOD VIDEO!!! I love it... and probably thousands of people too... You should make a video of your first captures... your beggining scope your first camera etc. etc. ...
Ahh screw it, I'm buying the pier extension with my new scope. Looks like it comes in handy.
Wow, just beautiful Josh
WOW - TOTALLY AMAZING - I'm looking for a telescope myself and really like your set up. deep space objects is my passion. what is the music you have at the end of the video? Link?
Hey Trevor, with that dual filter, is the final image just what you got with that, or did you add full color data as well? Thinking about getting the same filter for my OSC camera and trying to figure out what to expect. Thanks, your videos have helped me come up in my skills a lot in the last few months.
Can someone Help me, I’m new and want to get into astrophotography. I would like a decent priced telescope that I can view deep sky object with and take pictures with. Thanks!
Love watching the videos. Just as I am ready to give up and take a hammer to the whole rig.. Your videos inspire me to try again....and.. spend a little more from my kids college education fund.. ;-).. Keep em coming, excellent work.
Great video once again. Really want to get this scope...most likely will be the 80mm version. Not sure how this would handle on my NEQ6 mount?
Looks more like a giant squid and eagle below nebula 😂
Yesterday I tracked Saturn with a 65x Newtonian telescope with an equatorial mount until I couldn’t see it anymore through the scope but I still saw it until I realized that I could only view the planet from my elevation truly a rookie mistake that I expected I kept saying oh my god and couldn’t believe I was seeing something with my own eyes that until now only seen from a picture
Excellent video. I just captured it the other night as well. What was the filter you were using?
All your "lets photograph" makes me cry...
Its so beautiful
Hey Trevor, can you do a video about comets?
46P/Wirtanen
38p/stephan-oterma.
Keep them coming you do some great videos, I always enjoy watching them. As for test images for framing, I always put the gain up to about 480-500 (ZWO asi1600mm) just remember to put it back down again, I’ve forgotten on more than one occasion ☹️
Thanks Trevor. I was thinking of investing in an Esprit 150 with a reducer. They seem to offer tremendous value for money and quality. Thanks also for the promo on the 60 mm Star Wave Guide Scope Altair Astro combo. I bought one for a Meade apo 80 series 6000 myself, rather than your 70mm Meade astrograph refractor and its a great complement.
Would you be interested in coming up to my cottage in Baysville? Nice dark skies. Just need to put up with some trees.
you have the absolute best astronomy videos on youtube
Hi Trevor. Great video as always. I'm curious about what components you used to achieve the correct spacing of the flattener to the camera sensor. Also, how did you manage to get your duoband filter connected in the imaging train? What size filter did you use and how is it all connected. I don't seem to be able to attach filters to my flattener. Cheers
Thanks for another spot-on video. Could you do one on the pros & cons of reflector vs refractor? I guess for planetary work focal length is primary so a big reflector to the way to go but for dso quality is better so refractor is better & easier (no cool-down period, collimation, weight etc)?
I'm relatively new to your channel and I really enjoy your videos and images. You have made me want to try astrophotography, but I am still a poor college student. I am building my own telescope, however, whenever I get the time and money.
Sky-Watcher 72ed or William Optics Zenithstar 61?
Looking for a small scope to use on vacation
The other part of chart is southern hemisphere sky
Great to have the longer nights back, even here in the far, FAR north! It's impossible to image anything except the moon and Sun in the summer because it never gets dark. Finally I'll be able to go under the dark skies, and image the stars!
Another awesome video Trevor - keep it up! I'm very jealous of some your objects, since many of them I can't see from down under :(
Do you have some surplus astrophotograpy equipment I could get to evaluate! I would gladly pay the shipping expense.
Very nice and informative videos, thank you very much. That is one outstanding image, well done!
Please don't get me wrong, but i think i'm in love with you haha your work is astonishing
Very inspiring and a great picture! I just started into the new hobby (only visual for now because money) and can only dream of that setup and great outcome.
Hello from Ukraine! I love watching your videos.
Honeymoon possible ?
you are my hero man...........loved every video and really hooked up with astro world.........
Thank you. So grateful for your videos. From Windsor, Ontario!
What is the aperture of this telescope? And magnification
Now we all know what to get you for Christmas, a good 'lens cleaner. Keep up the good work.
I have been waiting my whole life to buy a good telescope. For almost a decade I was convinced I wanted a SC type like the Nexstar 8. What do you think of that style? One thing I am learning quickly is that the mounting-tracking setup is more important than I originally had prioritized. I am viewing from zip code 97038 at about 1100 Ft. ASL. My situation in my back "yard/field" is such I can turn off ALL artificial light including street light. I am trying to stay around $1000 with eye pieces and the best stand possible. I would definitely like auto-tracking. What would you recommend?
Im in the same boat, every thing you said fits me like a tee. What type & model scope did you finally buy? I think i need an 8" X 24" tube bulit in tracking motor drive that will accept future accessories like different lenses ( wide angle, zoom,) android camera, ect. Jim
Watch out, Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes are normally very slow scopes and have a very small viewing angle. Smaller focal lengths with lower focal ratios are best when you start since 60 second subs will actually collect something reasonable. get into slower more zoomed in scopes after youve already gotten a fair amount of equipment.
i started off with a ritchey chretian 6" on a HEQ5 mount and somethimes wish i had a faster scope. mag 8+ images get tricky needing me to do 100 sec subs and my alignment needs to pretty bang on to not get trailing. saving up for an autoguiding setup now
@@MCWaffles2003-1 there's a lot of people using Schmidt cassegrain telescopes for astrophotography, do very well and a lot of gear is made for them to assist with astrophotography.
Kevin Attig did i ever say schmidt cassegrains didnt work for astro? i was cautioning that theyre not for beginners, and i should know since i have one. a ritchey cretien is a variant of a schmidt cassegrain
theyre very slow scopes, and the slower the scope the longer each sub needs to be. the longer a sub needs to be the better the polar alignment needs to be. theyre great for planetary but doing deep sky with them is not easy. a lot of the time theyre focal length is too long so your desired picture isnt even able to fit in the narrow field of view.
i have an f/9 and thats already insanely to image modest things like the flame nebula at magnitude 8
@@MCWaffles2003-1 I was concerned that a beginner would have to go buy an expensive refractor, but just looked at a few and it seems that the price of the refractors are way down in the affordable range. A good 4 to 6 inch refractor used to be 3 times the price of a 8" Schmidt!
Thanks Trevor, another great capture for your collection ! great video like always.
I think il start surching for a job xD
Nice photo my friend. We enjoy it here in the Netherlands.
Stunning! I just bought my first modified DSLR, so excited to shoot all the faint emission nebulae
You. Deserve. More. Subscribers!
I s zenith star is good for very deep sky astrophotography
Beautiful as always. Great Video and i wish everyone clear skies 😉
Please say the music at last
Awesome, Work,... are you in a position to Photography the WitchHead Nebula? Our ship needs new injectors, so I can't actually go far ourselves, atm. Nanu Nanu.
Xd
My dream this Esprit! Great video!!!!
Wow, Trevor, just amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just got my first good telescopes! Excited!
I want this telescope
Dont have enough money
Hi Kevin, been in astronomy since 1959, 7th grade. You are the consummate professional. Was planning to camp at Cherry Springs and hopefully meet you but we rained out. There will be another time. Love it when your cutie-pie drops in and makes a cameo. You two area cute-happy couple. Best Wishes...Herb from South Central PA.
Hi Herb, his name is Trevor lol
Oh drew from wrong brain cell...sorry Trevor...gee l knew that!! 😂
It will take 2000 yrs at the Speed of light 🙄
Woke up at 4:00am. Couldn't get back to sleep so I started to watch your video. Trevor, can this scope be used to visually observe planets such as Saturn? Would I be able to see Saturn's rings? I want to get into astrophotography eventually but I want to be able to start out observing the planets also. Thanks as always!
Yes, it can be used visually, we use ours for both imaging and visual use. It is a fairly flexible telescope all around.
@@FocusAstronomy thanks, I really appreciate your response!
Nice work! Love this journey you are taking us on!
At the final image, I just went "WOW"...
Great video and image ☺👍
😱😱😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍
Thanks again for yet another great video, Trevor!
Awesome
Is it possible to shoot einstein cross
I am at work!! Gotta wait 8 hours 😕
That book seems very cool!
good video ... ever thought about using a SCT and hyperstar at F2 ?????
Yes! The new 8" Celestron RASA looks interesting 😉
i would surguest the edgeHD just for the versatility.... i hope celestron give you a big RASA to play with i would like to see what you can do with it
cheers

Awesome Trevor
Now THAT's a mount....
Rudy is so damn cute!
Go Habs!
nice job! Well done!
Rudy rocks!
Great video!
Awesome as always!
