With Summer twilight among us, I'm having some fun seeing what I can produce in London Bortle 8 conditions and a lack of true night-time

I finished up on NGC 7822 with 12ish hours of data, and have moved onto IC1396 - Elephants trunk Nebula

Have done an initial 2.5ish hours and plan to match the 12ish hours i did on my previous efforts

So far things looking positive

So here is a starting point on a long take of IC1396
