Image Description and Details : The Edge of the Elephant Trunk

Taken over the course of 33 nights, this is 174 hours of exposure on an area of sky that's rarely imaged alone, but often included in wide field views of Cygnus.

This region is directly north of the Elephant Trunk Nebula, and the faint outer edge of the Elephant Trunk can be seen on the right side of this image.

This is my first image since upgrading to a mono camera, and I couldn't be happier with the switch from OSC to mono.
